About this listen

If the dragons don't kill you, the deadlines will.

At the Tower of Jackdaw and Spittlelick, magic isn't wild or romantic. It's regulated, audited, and buried under paperwork.

Ivy Armstride is a junior mage trying to survive a workplace where spells misfire, mentors are eccentric at best, and magical disasters are quietly filed away. Her job is to keep things running smoothly—not to ask questions.

But when a strange tree appears in the Tower's foyer, dragons start circling overhead, and a charming client requests the impossible, Ivy is forced to choose between following the rules that hold the system together . . . or confronting what those rules are really protecting.

Modern Magic is a witty, character-driven urban fantasy that blends sharp satire with genuine heart.

For readers who enjoy fantasy in the vein of Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jasper Fforde.
