"Includes a prequel story and bonus material"--Cover

"When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake. Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kates guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlantas magic circles."--goodreads.com
