Into the Crooked Place

In Creije, Tavia sells small magical tricks while planning to leave the criminal world behind. Wesley, her ambitious underboss, wants to rise within it. Karam survives through fighting and protecting dangerous people, while Saxony hides a history that gives her reasons to seek revenge. When a new form of dark magic threatens someone close to Tavia, the four are pulled into a conflict larger than their separate ambitions. Trust is difficult, especially where former lovers Karam and Saxony are concerned. Their uneasy alliance must hold long enough to challenge the power moving through the city, even as old loyalties and private grievances threaten to break it apart.
