About this ebook

While twenty-year-old FTM Hemingway is making an excellent living as a tattoo artist in a near-future version of Hell's Kitchen, the rest of the country is splintered and struggling in the wake of a war gone on for too long. Technology has collapsed, borders rise and fall overnight, and magic has awakened without rhyme, reason, or rule, turning average unwitting citizens into wielders of strange and specific strands of magic.

Hemingway's particular brand of magic has made him a household name. Not only is he a talented artist, but his work comes to life. Literally.

When NYC's most infamous serial killer—the East River Ripper—abducts Hemingway's best friend, Grace, he has only days to save her. Hemingway teams up with his stoic cop roommate to hunt for the killer and rescue Grace before she becomes the Ripper's latest victim. But as the duo chase clues to the serial killer's identity, Hemingway begins to fear the magic he and the Ripper share might eventually corrupt him too.

Alex Hall

Alex Hall was born, like Dickens’ David Copperfield, in Blundeston in Suffolk, but there the similarity ends. After leaving school she trained as a primary teacher at Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln, where she was encouraged both to develop her own creativity and to make the most of it in her teaching. She currently lives in North Lincolnshire with her husband and two children and teaches full-time at a local junior school.Imagined worlds have been a huge part of Alex’s life ever since she can remember and, although her days are spent at the chalkface, after her own children are in bed, most evenings she can be found somewhere in the Five Lands.
