Cassie Black has just lost two people through a magic portal. Her archenemy, the Mauvais, is threatening to destroy city after city if Magic HeadQuarters doesn't hand her over to him. And HQ isn't exactly saying no to that offer.
As the Magic higher ups debate her fate, Cassie refuses to sit by and watch the grass grow between the toes of the surveillance gnomes. Biting back her life rule to never get involved, she knows the only way to stop the Mauvais is to go after him herself.
Which is exactly what he wants. Because the instant Cassie falls into his hands, the Mauvais will gain the unlimited power he’s always craved.
So don't get captured, right? Easy for you to say.
Trouble is, there's a traitor within HQ who's proving to be more devious, more powerful, and to have more tricks up the sleeve than anyone could have ever guessed.
In this page-turning conclusion of the Cassie Black Trilogy, the curses are flying, the pastries are plentiful, the bookworms are slithering, and the magical batteries are charged to capacity.

Okay, now for the bio....
Many moons ago I was a scientist in a neuroscience lab where I got to play with brains and illegal drugs.
Now, I’m an award-winning indie author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction (so, basically still playing with brains and drugs) that's often set in an altered version of my hometown -- Portland, Oregon -- or the Pacific Northwest.
My fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired my two historical fantasy series, The Osteria Chronicles and my second series, Domna. (Both of which have free series starters...hint hint.)
But all those ancient myths and angst-ridden heroes got a bit too serious for someone with a strange sense of humor and odd way of looking at the world.
So, while sitting at my grandmother’s funeral, my brain came up with an idea for a contemporary fantasy trilogy that’s filled with magic, mystery, snarky humor, and the dead who just won’t stay dead. That idea turned into The Cassie Black Trilogy, which has turned into a fan favorite.
I'm currently working on a new series where dragons do the sleuthing when people start getting bumped off at a very unusual circus.
When I’m not creating worlds or killing off characters, I can be found gardening, dreaming of my next travel adventure, working as an unpaid servant to four cats and two guinea pigs, or concocting something in the kitchen.
Before you wander off, be sure to grab my FREE series starters, The Trials of Hercules: Book One of the Osteria Chronicles; and Domna, Part One: The Sun God's Daughter.
