The Machinists
Magic isn’t a trick. It’s a weapon.
Allyn Kaplan has everything—until a brutal attack rips away the illusion of a normal world. Thrown into a hidden war of magic and shadows, he discovers magic is real, ruthless, and governed by deadly rules.
Enemy wizards are mobilizing, and Allyn is somehow at the center of their plans. Hunted and on the run, Allyn refuses to get involved—until his sister disappears without a trace.
To uncover the truth, Allyn must strike a bargain with a powerful magi Family whose motives are as dangerous as their magic. The price for their help may be higher than he can afford—and refusing could cost him everything.
