*Wattys Winner 2022* Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger. Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy. In a world where each magician's power is unique and at times undetectable, it's hard to know who to trust...

In the Den of the Kingdom of Dreduor, money reigns supreme and one's skill at deception determines how much you can make, and how much longer you will survive. Maize is a thief- a very good thief, and one of the Den's best. So when a wealthy benefactor purposefully seeks her out to fulfill a contracted job, she is neither surprised nor hesitant to accept. Only after she discovers it's the royal palace she needs to infiltrate, Maize quickly finds herself in the middle of the grandest con of her career. Maize must position herself within the court in order to complete her mission, even if it means capturing the eye- and the heart- of the very Prince she's supposed to abscond.
