Some people go to college showcases to support their friends. Sage Thorne goes to watch a twenty-two-year-old accidentally explode an auditorium.
When aspiring witch Jinx Shadowspell gets her hands on a pendant that turns her magical abilities from "barely functional nightlight" to "weapons-grade chaos," she does what any ambitious young woman would she shows off at the worst possible moment.
Now Jinx is missing—kidnapped by an ancient anti-magic cult with terrifyingly efficient methods and zero appreciation for the irony of using magical artifacts to hunt magical people.
Sage has faced dark witches, murderers, and one customer who called her focaccia "serviceable." But the Starfall Syndicate is patient, organized, and absolutely convinced they're the heroes. With help from her sarcastic talking cat, her unfairly handsome wolf-shifter boyfriend, and a basket of tactically-enhanced pastries, Sage has three days to find Jinx before the Syndicate's "purification ritual" becomes permanent.
No pressure.
The ninth book in The Enchanted Whisk series—because one magical catastrophe per month is apparently Sage's new normal.
