About this listen

Luck is its own kind of magic, in this first book in an electrifying new contemporary fantasy series from the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Hollows novels.

Petra Grady has known since adolescence that she has no talent for magic—and that’s never going to change. But as a sweeper first-class, she’s parlayed her rare ability to handle dross—the damaging, magical waste generated by her more talented kin’s spellwork—into a decent life working at the mages’ university.

Except Grady’s relatively predictable life is about to be upended. When the oblivious, sexy, and oh-so-out-of-reach Benedict Strom needs someone with her abilities for a research project studying dross and how to render it harmless, she’s stuck working on his team—whether she wants to or not.

Only Benedict doesn’t understand the characteristics of dross like Grady does. After an unthinkable accident, she and Benedict are forced to go on the run to seek out the one person who might be able to help: an outcast exiled ten years ago for the crime of using dross to cast spells. Now Grady must decide whether to stick with the magical status quo or embrace her own hidden talents . . . and risk shattering their entire world.

What the critics say

“New world, new hero—nothing less than spectacular. Kim Harrison takes it to the next level with her best yet!"—Faith Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of the Jane Yellowrock series

Kim Harrison never disappoints

I was sucked in as quickly as I was with the hollow series. I was expecting some conceptual overlap but so far it is not at all derivative. Well done as always Ms. Harrison!!

New magic world.

Loved the whole story. Narration was great and Kim as usual writes a great story. Different magic rules than the hollows but would definitely get the second. Of course I’d also buy the new hollows book when it’s out

Huge KH AND MG fan, not this storyline

I’m a very big fan of the Hollows series and really love M Gavin’s narration. This story is not good. It starts on a thin time frame and positioning. I didn’t really connect with where I as the reader was in the world. I got mid story and the gory end to the dog was the end for me. Sorry KH, I’ll go back and listen to the Hollows to soothe my heart.

Characters are caricatures of childish characteristics.

The overall story arc was good, as was the system of magic. The characters were profoundly shallow, driven by the most basic and simple childish and emotional impulses, without a single rational thought between them.
