before your eyes . . .

You’ll never see me…

 

Nobody sees us, only what we use our magic to show them. I grew up raised in illusion magic, and when our family’s one mistake got my parents killed, I didn’t even see that my own sister had survived.

Years later, I find her alive, and charged with murder. Now she needs her brother.

The real killer is out there, and he has no idea how many secrets, tricks, and magical faces I can call up to drag him out of hiding.

But… I’ve never imagined what that threat might lead to, about him and all of us.

And it’s the things you don’t see that get you. >>Read more
