In a city run by magic, I'm the one person who can't use it. They call me a Blank, a broken mage. But when my ex-girlfriend, the heir to a powerful dynasty, begs for my help, I can't refuse. Her father butchered her mother with an ancestral sword, and she's the only one who believes a forbidden power was the true killer. Now, with a 1920s ghost for a secretary and a magically-forged golem for a bodyguard, I have to dive back into the world that cast me out. I may have no magic, but I see the patterns no one else does, and I'll unravel this conspiracy even if it tears me apart.
