Black Hex 2: Heaven's Apex

by Nooa Kander

Life is slowly returning to normal in the futuristic New Venice, after the exposure of a horrid occult conspiracy against the city. Or, about as normal as it can get with a bona fide cyborg and a Magical Girl around.

Cami Stratton continues to balance her work and studies in the College of Thaumaturgy, while desperately trying to keep her mental bond with the dark magician, Beatrix, a secret from her friends.

A cryptic message from an old acquaintance sends Cami, Cecily, and Vess on a sudden trip to the German countryside, with no way of knowing that the colossal secret hidden there will irrevocably change not only their lives but the future of mankind.
