Magic is sold on every corner alongside designer coffee. Spells and constructs offer the ultimate in convenience. Until the magic starts murdering people. Caught between magic's monsters and a shadow war against long extinct fey, a homeless ex-con barely scraping by is called upon to save the city from the 'friends' who framed him. Eli is forbidden the spells he designed. He's barred from purchasing magical components. With more than his own survival on the line, he must forge a new kind of magic. Can Eli master dumpstermancy before magic devours the world?
