The Dissolution of Tal Stephens

By Ellie Jones

Hiding her magic keeps her alive. Trusting him could destroy everything.

New York City, 1897

For Talia Stephens, being discovered by the Order of the Sacella means a one-way ticket to a war-zone grave. She has only one choice: pose as a man, work with corpses as a forensic pathologist, and keep her necromancy buried,

Then she exposes her gift to save the city and catches the eye of Daniel Thayer.

Daniel is a disgraced mage with the power to taste lies and a burning desire to bring down the Order. When a serial killer begins harvesting mages' magic, Daniel offers Tal a deal: use her necromancy to help him hunt the murderer, and he'll keep her secrets safe.

Joined by a shared secret and a dangerous attraction, they follow a trail of blood from boardrooms to bordellos. But uncovering the truth means unearthing corruption at the very top of the Order. With time running out, Tal must navigate a deadly conspiracy and a growing desire for a man who has everything to lose.
