The Modern Knights Novels Series

While working as a personal wizard for a billionaire, the stakes have never been higher. Being a personal wizard to a multinational CEO isn't all fun and games. When Colin's not busy with assassins and his own inner demons, there's amnesia potions and odd jobs like hunting down a serial criminal or two. If the billionaire boss was bad, the relationship between Colin and his demon-blooded girlfriend Veruca has been downright turbulent since last winter's freak blizzard. It doesn't make the situation any easier that his favorite FBI contact looks exactly like his missing, presumed dead, fiancée. All of that would be enough to keep Colin busy. But when a dangerous gambler with magical powers of his own, and his demoness consort, start fleecing Vegas casinos for millions, Colin finds himself trapped in a high stakes game of two wizard roulette. “Building on the story begun in Frostbite, Bader delivers another urban fantasy home run….The book boasts both sharp wit and beautifully crafted emotional depth, and it’s extremely easy to fall headlong into the story.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

A down on his luck wizard-for-hire must save his new boss from a deadly ice demon in this urban fantasy novel for fans of Jim Butcher and Benedict Jacka.  Colin Fisher is a young man with a lot of problems on his plate: a dying father, a dead car doubling as a home, and a mysteriously disappeared fiancée. You’d think with a magical inclination he’d be able to turn it all around, but not so much. Yet his bad luck appears to be on the way out when the CEO of a multinational corporation offers him a job. It’s a sweet gig as a personal wizard with a fat paycheck. It just has one catch. The paranoid CEO isn’t a mere hypochondriac, he’s been hexed with an authentic ancient curse. Now Colin is the only thing standing between his new boss and a frozen bundle of fangs, claws, and rage. If he can’t stop the cannibal ice demon in time to save his new boss, it’ll be back to living out of his dead car. That is, if he even survives the battle. “Well-researched and creatively presented humor and action perfectly blend with moral quandaries in this outstanding debut.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
