The Hidden Threat

By Martha Carr; Michael Anderle

Some criminals hide in the shadows. Others change the game entirely. When a routine jewel theft leads to an unexpected confrontation on a rooftop, Paranormal Defense Agent Izzie Berens thinks she's wrapping up a standard case. But when the suspect--a winged Arpak--hurls a magical artifact at her before collapsing, it sets off a chain reaction that exposes something far more sinister lurking beneath Austin's magical underworld. What starts as a simple takedown quickly spirals into a deadly mystery when an unregistered magical creature attacks a city cop, surviving gunshots, stun spells, and even anti-magic rounds. The problem? He wasn't supposed to be magical at all. As Izzie and her partner Rafe dig deeper, they uncover traces of dark magic that shouldn't exist--powerful, insidious, and growing stronger by the day. With tensions rising and the Arcane Syndicate's influence spreading like wildfire, Izzie is forced to confront an unsettling truth: this isn't just another case. This is the beginning of something bigger, something designed to rewrite the rules of magic itself. And if she doesn't stop it in time, Austin--and the entire magical world--may never be the same.
