Forced to serve the city that hates her, she’s paired with an ex-god who thinks teamwork is a bad joke.
Two years after fleeing Atlantis as a disgraced cult member, Emery Morgan is back — and immediately caught.
The deal on the table is simple: recover one of Atlantis’s stolen magical crown jewels, or face permanent banishment. The catch? She has to do it alongside Loki, a sharp-tongued, power-dampened ex-god with a talent for chaos and an unfortunate habit of ending up in the company of would-be heroes.
The investigation leads straight into the heart of a secretive magical order — and straight back into the kind of darkness Emery thought she’d left behind. Someone is hunting the Order’s members. Something is wearing their faces. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder if Atlantis’s real enemy has been hiding in plain sight all along.
Armed with magic-nullifying daggers and a partner she’s not sure she can trust, Emery has one shot to prove she’s more than what this city already believes her to be.
Malicious Magic launches the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, slow-burn trust, and a mystery that cuts bone-deep in a desert city where old loyalties can get you killed.
