A teenage sorcerer’s apprentice must solve her boss’s murder in order to prove her innocence in this magic-infused “fun, zippy whodunnit” (BCCB).

“An incredibly fun thrill-ride by a masterful storyteller.”—Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series

“Prophecies, pretty boys, and murder make for an astoundingly fun madcap mystery.”—Gina Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Violet Made of Thorns

Being an apprentice to one of the world’s most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn’t think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortune teller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death—and worse, it comes true—Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss’s youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.

But solving a murder isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon’s family. And Tabatha can’t quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: Just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.
