Malicious Magic

Forced to serve the city that hates her, she's paired with an ex-god who thinks teamwork is a bad joke.

Two years after being cast out of the desert city-state of Atlantis, former Red Kin cult member Emery Morgan finds her way back through a magical gateway, aided by the ex-god Loki. When they're inevitably caught, they're offered an unwelcome bargain: work as expendable assets for the authorities, or be banished to Earth for good.

Their first assignment sounds simple: pick up a stalled investigation the authorities couldn't crack-one that leads straight to a secretive order. Their job? Find one of Atlantis's missing magical crown jewels. To do that, Emery must work with Loki, a sharp-tongued, power-dampened ex-god with a talent for chaos and an unfortunate habit of ending up in the company of would-be heroes.

Armed with magic-nullifying daggers and a partner she's not sure she can trust, Emery is pulled into a mystery that cuts too close to her past. The mission itself could easily get them killed-and if they walk away without the jewel, permanent banishment awaits them while Atlantis remembers Emery as exactly what they already believe she is: a traitor.

Malicious Magic launches the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, slow-burn trust, and a twisty web of magic and secrets in a dangerous desert city where old loyalties are deadly.
