Mortal Magic

When a romantic weekend getaway turns into a magical malfunction, Maddy Madrigal knows trouble is on the way. Her powers are flickering, gnomes are rioting in Beverly Hills, and, in the exclusive community she was hired to protect, a bloodthirsty menace is running amok.

It's something ancient and deadly, and it's taken roost just outside the gates of Chavez Ravine. As attacks escalate and everyday life turns into full-blown chaos, Maddy and her team scramble to defend the neighborhood with weapons, magic, and an extremely agitated cat. But all of that may not be enough.

With spells failing and the invading creatures refusing to die, Maddy must dig into a forgotten legacy of street fighters, brujería, and buried secrets. To save the community, she'll need to draw from its history, learn more about her magical lineage, and figure out who summoned this new wave of monsters.

Packed with psychic awakenings, family tensions, and HOA drama, this fourth installment of Maddy Madrigal Mysteries delivers high-stakes urban fantasy with heart, bite, and a serious gnome problem.
