Real magic can only be done in the dark. That’s the very first lesson in the long, dangerous education of a nightcrafter. Kal Kai, a seemingly ordinary man in New York City, was once a promising nightcrafter-in-training until he discovered the truth of the dark art — there are monsters in the shadows.
Magic lures these fearsome creatures like moths to a flame, and though they pose no dangers to the nightcrafters, ordinary people have no defense against them. For years, Kal has struggled to find a way to put an end to the threat that unrestrained magic poses to unsuspecting citizens.
But a chance encounter with a powerful government agent finally gives him the opportunity he’s been waiting for. And a brilliant young engineer shows Kal that science can counter and enhance magic beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Now Kal and his partners have a chance to stop the reckless use of magic for good. But the masters of the dark will not give up their power without a fight.
