Synopsis

Half werewolf Lia de Croissets is a member of the War Mage Corps, the police branch of the world's leading magical organization, the Silver Circle. She's an instructor assigned to train new recruits, a job considered to be significantly tougher than combat, especially right now. There is a war going on in the supernatural world, and the other side has discovered a deadly new tactic.

Popular street drugs have been laced with a potent narcotic known as Punch or fey wine. An import from Faerie, the wine has been known to bring out latent magical abilities in humans, but this version does much more than that. It is so strong that it is drawing forth dangerous talents that were long ago deliberately weeded out of the magical gene pool.

Someone is making monsters out of regular people and turning them loose on an unsuspecting and very unprepared world. The Corps cannot afford to fight on two fronts at once, so Lia gets a new class: one made up of the only people who might be able to counter these latest threats. It remains to be seen if a group of sullen, disaffected magical outlaws can come together to contain an ancient plague before the whole world gets sick.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Heather on October 28, 2022

So much fun! I love Karen Chance's books so I knew that I would like this book, but I was almost a little surprised at how much I liked it. Without spoiling the ending, it was exactly the satisfying resolution that I didn't realize I needed right now. On the way to that resolution was action that nev......more

I enjoyed this although it is written as if you know all of the backstory. Which I didn't but I'm excited to have a new author to read.......more

Goodreads review by Robert on February 07, 2023

So 4.5 rounded to 5. This is set in the same universe as the Cassie Palmer series. The main character is a War Mage of the Corps. But this is also the first in this series and there is virtually no overlap between characters from other books. We get to explore a whole new part of the magical communi......more
