Arn Beckett is the kind of agent legends are made of, if anyone knew she existed.
As the Sovereign Assembly's top operative, she takes on missions other agents won't survive. Fierce, brilliant, and loyal to those she trusts, Arn hunts threats across its eighty-eight member worlds from a Victorian-era house close to Harvard University's campus, where holographic displays, dimensional scanners, and neural interfaces lie hidden several stories beneath her living room.
Most of Earth's population doesn't know the Assembly exists. They definitely don't know about the chaos mages tearing holes between dimensions, or the arcane terrorists plotting catastrophic attacks. But when the wizard Demeterous escapes after three centuries of imprisonment, the message that reaches Arn is terrifyingly simple:
Priscus of First Magic in danger.
Demeterous doesn't just practice magic. He commands it as a lord of the dark arts. Now he hunts the Priscus, a small leather-bound book born from fairy magic and ancient wisdom that can rewrite the fate of worlds according to its owner's ambitions.
Arn's mission: find the Priscus before Demeterous does, operating with a skeleton crew small enough to move undetected. She'll face spectral assassins, forbidden spellcraft, and betrayal from within the Assembly itself. If she fails, Demeterous will dominate the member worlds, crushing resistance and bending survivors to his will, and Earth is first on his list."
A high-octane fusion of fantasy and sci-fi, The Priscus of First Magic: Secret of the Ancients launches a saga where espionage, magical beings, and twisted monsters collide in a battle for survival.
