Malicious Magic

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Forced to serve the city that hates her, she’s paired with an ex-god who thinks teamwork is a bad joke. Two years after being cast out of the desert city-state of Atlantis, former Red Kin cult member Emery Morgan finds her way back through a magical gateway, aided by the ex-god Loki. When they’re inevitably caught, they’re offered an unwelcome bargain: work as expendable assets for the authorities, or be banished to Earth for good. Their first assignment sounds simple: pick up a stalled investigation the authorities couldn’t crack—one that leads straight to a secretive order. Their job? Find one of Atlantis’s missing magical crown jewels. To do that, Emery must work with Loki, a sharp-tongued, power-dampened ex-god with a talent for chaos and an unfortunate habit of ending up in the company of would-be heroes. Armed with magic-nullifying daggers and a partner she’s not sure she can trust, Emery is pulled into a mystery that cuts too close to her past. The mission itself could easily get them killed—and if they walk away without the jewel, permanent banishment awaits them while Atlantis remembers Emery as exactly what they already believe she is: a traitor. Malicious Magic launches the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, slow-burn trust, and a twisty web of magic and secrets in a dangerous desert city where old loyalties are deadly. Please note: This series centers on a slow-burn trust and friendship between the leads, with other romantic threads developing elsewhere in the series.
