Shadow of the Magus

Some secrets should stay buried…

From where Kitty Connolly is standing, the summer looks promising in Glastonbury. With her boyfriend by her side, her sisters preparing for glory at the Arcanum’s annual Games, and the Away Team’s resident dragon off on paternity leave, Kitty sees smooth sailing ahead, a season unbothered by pesky fires in need of smothering.

But that’s before Kitty meets Quinn Dellucci, a young wizard in desperate need of remedial training. All Quinn wants is a job in art conservation. Unfortunately, her stress can blow up cars. She never expected to stumble across magic, much less the nasty surprise hiding in her family tree.

And Quinn’s not the only concerning discovery. A mundane archaeological excavation in the west of Ireland draws the Away Team’s attention when a stone coffin wrapped in spells is found deep beneath a parking lot. Inside that coffin lies the key to one of the Arcanum’s greatest cover-ups…and a clue to the location of a legendary grail.

The Away Team excels at retrieving misplaced magical items. But sometimes, things go missing for a reason, and not all that is lost should be found…
