A teenage sorcererâs apprentice must solve her bossâs murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games.
Being an apprentice to one of the world's most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didnât think they would include solving crime.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered bossâs youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.
But solving a murder isnât as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomonâs family. And Tabatha canât quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?
Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.
