Shadowed Minds
2 primary works
Book 1
She'll steal anything to find the cure for a deadly strain of magic.
Ever since the ancient Ceteri “blessed” Earth’s inhabitants with Thaumaturgy, Lee has been able to enter the Liminal Realm, where she can influence the world without being seen or heard. But each time she uses her magic, it tears her cells further apart. Like a cancer, the magic eats away at her from the inside out.
Fortunately, her ability makes her invaluable to the thieving crew she works for. Unfortunately, the crew is going broke. Lee is determined not to go down with them. She just has to steal enough to buy the coordinates for the Ceteri’s home world and convince them to heal her, even if it means losing her abilities. But when the crew hires on a new bit of muscle to help out with a last-ditch heist, Lee finds herself being tracked and her motives questioned by the crew. To make matters worse, the FBI is hot on Lee’s trail, and they’re closing in.
Racing against arrest and her own death, can Lee reach the Ceteri in time?
Fans of Inception and the Dresden Files series will devour Bree Moore’s dark, new magic heist series.
Book 2
Lee swore she’d do anything to cure the magic consuming her, but is her sanity a price she’s willing to pay?
Lee stole the powerful statue imbued with magic that the ancient Ceteri need to save their homeworld, but it’s only the first of four that she has to steal before the Ceteri will remove the magic dissolving her cells.
Problem is, Lee’s condition is worsening daily. Flickering uncontrollably in and out of the Liminal realm causes her excruciating pain. Luckily, there’s a drug that numbs the pain - and all of her worries with it. Afterburn is supposedly harmless, but even a small dose turns Lee into someone else every time she takes it.
Can Lee hold herself and her crew together and track down the remaining items she needs to trade for a cure? If she fails, she’ll succumb to the Fade, and her soul will become part of the Liminal realm forever.
And if that happens, the FBI will be the least of her problems.
If you like books by Jim Butcher or Illona Andrews, you’ll rave over Thief of Aether.
