This series features secrets, lies, and superspies with amazing magical abilities, along with dangerous missions, double crosses, and a swoon-worthy romance. Perfect for fans of Alias, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Nikita, True Lies, and Netflixโs Bodyguard. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS . . . My name is Charlotte Locke, and Iโm on a mission to capture my nemesis. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I use my magical form of synesthesia to track down paramortal criminals, but one villain keeps eluding meโHenrika Hyde. Henrika claims to have answers about my fatherโs death on a Section 47 mission years ago, and she has also created a horrific new weapon capable of killing even the strongest paramortals, which makes her my number one target. Helping me is Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist who is my partner both inside and outside Section 47. Desmond wants to take Henrika down just as badly as I do, but our mission quickly goes sideways, and soon weโre surrounded by enemies on all sides with no idea whom we can truly trust. A TROUBLING FUTURE . . . The name Desmond Percy is well known inside Section 47, since Iโm one of the organizationโs top cleaners, aka assassins. Charlotte Locke and I have been tracking Henrika Hyde for months, and when we finally get a lead on her location, we jump at the chance to take down the weapons maker once and for all. Iโm determined to help Charlotte get the answers she is so desperately seeking, as well as taking my revenge on Henrika for killing my best friend. But the deeper Charlotte and I dig into Henrika and her murky motives, the more dangerous our mission becomes. Henrika is playing her own spy game, and Charlotte and I are just the pawns she is using to achieve her own evil endsโcaught up in a deadly legacy of treachery.
