Witchbane

Lethal magic just dropped on Los Angeles, and the Department of Metaphysical Affairs doesn't like it. The clandestine government agency that's tasked me with helping them keep the existence of wizards and vampires secret now has to track down a supernatural serial killer before he strikes again. Between trying to explain the bizarre deaths and rooting out traitors within its own ranks, the DMA has got its hands full. My friends and I are the only ones who can help. I've fought monsters and dark wizards with Sal, Lucas, and Alanna at my side. And though I suspect there's something more to Alanna's enchanted sword, Witchbane, I fear the day its deadly owner returns for it. But as long as we stick together, we can unmask any threat looming over the city and decimate it. A sinister mastermind is behind much of the magical havoc, and they're out for my blood. They'll stop at nothing to get to me, even if it means taking down the people I care about most. Ghosts from the past will come back to haunt me, and a painful revelation will rock my world and test my resolve. If I don't push forward, my friends will be destroyed—and the rest of the city right along with them. But they don't call me the Wayward Wizard for nothing. Armed with my magic and an accidental gift from the gods, I'm going to set things right, before the world comes crashing down.WITCHBANE is the third book of the Magic and Mayhem Series, an action-packed urban fantasy with a snarky, cynical wizard hero, wayward magic, and a tight circle of friends who'll kick ass first and ask questions later. Fans of the Dresden Files and Nate Temple books will especially enjoy this series.
