If the dragons don't kill you, the deadlines will.

At the Tower of Jackdaw and Spittlelick, magic isn't wild or romantic. It's regulated, audited, and buried under paperwork.

Ivy Armstride is a junior mage trying to survive a workplace where spells misfire, mentors are eccentric at best, and magical disasters are quietly filed away. Her job is to keep things running smoothly—not to ask questions.

But when a strange tree appears in the Tower's foyer, dragons start circling overhead, and a charming client requests the impossible, Ivy is forced to choose between following the rules that hold the system together . . . or confronting what those rules are really protecting.

Modern Magic is a witty, character-driven urban fantasy that blends sharp satire with genuine heart.

For readers who enjoy fantasy in the vein of Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jasper Fforde.
