Phelan Varrant sees what nobody else can — the flaws in magic that everyone else calls perfect.
Broke, antisocial, and operating out of a rented shack on Drenwick's dockside, Phelan makes his living through the Guild of Necessary Services, solving problems other guilds won't touch. When a desperate client arrives with a dying family member cursed by a working that two registered curse-breakers have already declared unbreakable, Phelan takes the case. The fee is significant. The problem is interesting. In that order.
Broke, antisocial, and operating out of a rented shack on Drenwick's dockside, Phelan makes his living through the Guild of Necessary Services, solving problems other guilds won't touch. When a desperate wife hires him to save her husband from a curse that two licensed practitioners have failed to break — and that the Arcane Compact classified as unbreakable in eleven days flat — Phelan takes the case. The fee is significant. The problem is interesting. In that order.
The curse is named unbreakable by the Arcane Compact, but the curse isn't what it seems.
But the curse isn't one working. It's three, nested inside each other, each designed to protect the rest. And the Compact's suspiciously fast ruling starts to look less like bureaucratic efficiency and more like someone wanted this man silenced.
To save a man he barely knows, Phelan will have to do the one thing he's worst at: trust other people.
To crack a curse that shouldn't exist, Phelan will need things he's never had: a team, a plan that depends on other people, and the willingness to trust them when his own body gives out.
Phelan has a gift for hacking magic and seeing flaws. Can he find a way to crack this curse? Can he learn to work well with others? Will the effort be worth the cost?
*The Unbreakable Curse* is the first book in The Shade Series — a fantasy adventure for readers who love Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, and protagonists who are more clever than they are kind.
