What is magic? Our argument: nothing but targeted deception. So I want you to look. Look as closely as possible. Because the tricks you are about to see may not seem connected. But we assure you they are. Is what follows one hundred different tricks? Or is it one, giant illusion? - Athena Stark was just a ordinary street magician with high hopes and dreams. Her parents never believed in her 'tricks' and she was always punished and yelled when she performed. So instead she practiced in secret, and little did they know Athena Stark was going to be one of the most well known magicians in the world...

Matilda never wanted this life. She didn't ask for it. In fact, she insisted on having nothing to do with the infamous Horsemen. But they don't take no for an answer-especially when she possesses the skills they desperately need. When Matilda becomes a pawn in their latest heist, she must consider how much she is willing to sacrifice for them, and whether they are willing to sacrifice her. Thrust into their dangerous plans, Matilda finds herself kidnapped and coerced, facing a chilling new reality that forces her to prioritise control over everything else.
