Devon Monk is casting a spell on the fantasy world...Using magic means it uses you back, and every spell exacts a price from its user. But some people get out of it by Offloading the cost of magic onto an innocent. Then it’s Allison Beckstrom’s job to identify the spell-caster.

But when she finds a boy dying from a magical Offload that has her father’s signature all over it, Allie is thrown back into his world of black magic.
