Secretly raised under the wing of a black magic tycoon, Albina has always comfortably straddled the line between light and dark; that is until a band of misfit magicians call upon her to help take down her father's mafia. Thrust into the realm of magic that has dominated her modern world for centuries, Albina must now make an impossible choice: put aside her family ties or stake her own claim in the illegal magic trade.
As time grows short, she begins to realize that the answer may lie in the depths of a long buried past.
