An UrbanFantasy novel written by Creator/SamSwicegood.

When well-respected corporate sorcerer Tom Lafayette is murdered, his eldest child Andy moves to Cincinnati to investigate, discovering a magical society bubbling just under the surface of the mundane world. Encountering odd characters such as an Incubus barista, a knife-happy security guard, and an enchanted espresso machine, Andy uncovers a plot to overthrow the magical society’s hierarchy.

* EntitledBastard: Devin, who just oozes entitled-rich-kid sleaze.
