Publisher's blurb:
Los Angeles, the city of dreams and desolation, sprawls under a pall of neon haze and shadows. Amidst its glittering façade and decaying underbelly, a silent, lethal war unfolds. This is a city where Magic breathes in the alleyways and pulses through the veins of its secretive inhabitants. Here, amidst the glamour and grime, an unseen predator has begun to hunt. The assassin, known only as The Reaper, strikes with surgical precision. A ghost in the night, he is devoid of Magic, armed only with human ingenuity and an ironclad will. His mission is clear: eradicate the Magic users who, in his eyes, corrupt the natural order of humanity. Driven by a belief in humanity's supremacy, The Reaper's crusade is a methodical purge of those he deems unnatural. At the centre of this deadly game are two powerful factions of Magic users. The Gaian Consortiu, an ancient order dedicated to harnessing the elemental forces of nature, stands as one of the most formidable. Their members draw power from the earth, air, fire, and water, living in harmony with the natural world. Their influence permeates the city, from the highest echelons of society to the grassroots movements that seek to protect the environment. Opposing them, though not directly allied with The Reaper, are the Nocturnis Sanctum, a clandestine cabal of dark Magic practitioners who wield the shadows and the arcane arts with ruthless efficiency. Their Magic is a double-edged sword, drawing power from the darker aspects of existence. The Nocturnis Sanctum thrives in the hidden corners of Los Angeles, controlling the black markets and operating in the city's criminal underworld. The Gaian Consortiu and the Nocturnis Sanctum, while enemies in their own right, find themselves in a precarious alliance of survival as fear grips the city. Whispers of his deeds echo through the Magical community, sowing distrust and paranoia. The once vibrant and mystical world within Los Angeles begins to fracture, its inhabitants driven into hiding or forced to take desperate measures.
