A murder, missing loot from a famous heist, and an ancient book that could spell life or death for alchemist Zoe Faust’s favorite gargoyle.

Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than alchemist Zoe Faust bargained for. When she gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show that reminds her of her youth, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland’s past, and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian the gargoyle ever imagined.
