This is an Urban Fantasy novel, set in London, Washington, and the Middle East.
Oliver trained as a magic user. But he wasn’t quite good enough. Now he just wants to live his playboy lifestyle. But the Guild of Magicians keeps asking him to do chores for them. Like visiting thirteen year olds, who have harmed themselves by magic, and explaining that their lives have been destroyed. Or telling self-taught magicians to stop practising magic - before it kills them.
Mary is a Telepath, using her talent to send secret reports between London and Britain’s embassies. The messages cannot be intercepted by the enemy security services - the Guild is sure of that. She is a thrill-seeker, and escapes from her boring job by training in high-octane sports.
But then a magician is murdered - by magic. The Guild is shocked. Who did it? And why?
Then Oliver is nearly killed in a bizarre traffic incident. It is a coincidence - or is it? The list of suspects keeps growing.
When Constance was thirteen she discovered, by accident, that she was a Firestarter. The man from the Guild told her that the only way she could protect her family from harm was for her to receive training at the secretive Castle School.
