Description de l’éditeur
While working as a personal wizard for a billionaire, the stakes have never been higher.
Being a personal wizard to a multinational CEO isn't all fun and games. When Colin's not busy with assassins and his own inner demons, there's amnesia potions and odd jobs like hunting down a serial criminal or two.
If the billionaire boss was bad, the relationship between Colin and his demon-blooded girlfriend Veruca has been downright turbulent since last winter's freak blizzard. It doesn't make the situation any easier that his favorite FBI contact looks exactly like his missing, presumed dead, fiancée.
All of that would be enough to keep Colin busy. But when a dangerous gambler with magical powers of his own, and his demoness consort, start fleecing Vegas casinos for millions, Colin finds himself trapped in a high stakes game of two wizard roulette.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Building on the story begun in Frostbite, Bader delivers another urban fantasy home run. Colin Fisher is now the personal wizard to Lucien Valente, a wealthy businessman of somewhat dubious morals. Even though Colin's cushy new life is far preferable to his previous destitute homelessness, he still struggles to reconcile what he does for his boss with his innate sense of goodness. His life is further complicated by his assassin girlfriend, Veruca; Andrea Devereaux, the FBI agent with the face of Colin's dead fianc e; and Yog Soggoth, an eldritch horror who lives in his head and provides snarky running commentary. The whole gang sets out to track down a rogue wizard, Jacob, who's been manipulating security footage in Vegas casinos and cleaning Valente Enterprises out of millions of dollars and is also now the Hand of Eris, an agent of chaos. However, the deeper the investigation goes, the more it's revealed that Jacob's work is merely a symptom of a much grander plot engendered by unseen forces. The book boasts both sharp wit and beautifully crafted emotional depth, and it's extremely easy to fall headlong into the story.
