Publisher's summary

Luck is its own kind of magic, in this first book in an electrifying new contemporary fantasy series from the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Hollows novels.

Petra Grady has known since adolescence that she has no talent for magic—and that’s never going to change. But as a sweeper first-class, she’s parlayed her rare ability to handle dross—the damaging, magical waste generated by her more talented kin’s spellwork—into a decent life working at the mages’ university.

Except Grady’s relatively predictable life is about to be upended. When the oblivious, sexy, and oh-so-out-of-reach Benedict Strom needs someone with her abilities for a research project studying dross and how to render it harmless, she’s stuck working on his team—whether she wants to or not.

Only Benedict doesn’t understand the characteristics of dross like Grady does. After an unthinkable accident, she and Benedict are forced to go on the run to seek out the one person who might be able to help: an outcast exiled ten years ago for the crime of using dross to cast spells. Now Grady must decide whether to stick with the magical status quo or embrace her own hidden talents . . . and risk shattering their entire world.

Critic reviews

"So much fun! A 'stay up all night reading and call in sick to work the next morning' kind of book. Harrison bats another one out of the park. Loved it, just loved it."—Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

“New world, new hero—nothing less than spectacular. Kim Harrison takes it to the next level with her best yet!"—Faith Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of the Jane Yellowrock series

“Harrison’s new series has the same delightfully wry heroine her fans expect to see, along with an intriguing new magic system.”—Library Journal

Thrilling story , can't wait for more

Super fun listen and unique story. Lots of magic and action. Things aren't as they should be but most don't know the truth. Exposing the truth will have you on the edge of your seat and ducking the flying magic and watching for drose.

Classic Harrison at Her Best

First book is world building, establishing characters, social structures, set time for rest of books to come. So delighted she used her Hollow’s narrator Marguerite Gavin!

It had the flavor of the Hollows Series

I really liked the use of magic, the need for a magical way to clean up after magic users and the storyline for the ghosts and shadows. I will listen to this series when more is written.

Obsessed

I wasn't sure if I would like this series but it surprised me. I was staying up listening. I lay in bed listening, bookmarking and listening. I would doze off and wake up to go back to the last bookmark.
Petra is a little bit of an idiot but she gets the job done. I couldn't stop listening.
This series is a little darker than the Hollows. If the next book is as good as this then Kim will need to stop eating and sleeping to keep up with the demands for more.
Marguerite Gavin is a superstar as usual. IYKYK.

I expected nothing else from Kim Harrison! This is such a wonderful start to what I hope is a long series! Absolutely unique and just absolute perfection. The narrator was awesome and I hope she keeps narrating the series!
