Description
In Cleveland, 1920, jazz fills the streets, the world hums with industry—and magic is just another part of modern life.
Graduate student Todd Albescu only wants to finish his doctorate and keep his eccentric mentor, Professor Maybelle Richards, happy. When she assigns him to gather rare books, scrolls, and artifacts for the university museum’s Halloween exhibit—“Witches and Wizards Through the Ages”—Todd expects a few long nights in the library, not a bargain with the Fae.
But ancient scrolls whisper his name. The Fae make offers too tempting to refuse. And something older than magic itself is awakening beneath Cleveland’s cobblestone streets.
His search leads him beyond the dusty stacks and into the twilight realm of the Fae, where history and myth intertwine and every trade carries a cost.
To stop what’s coming, Todd must navigate bargains with tricksters, unearth forgotten truths, and face the darkness even the Fae fear.
Because in a city built on iron and industry, something wicked is stirring—and it wears a familiar face.
