A Lexicon of Scars

About this book

In the rain-slicked, magic-infused streets of modern Chicago, survival is a transaction paid in blood and secrets. Gideon Morcant is a ruthless broker in the supernatural black market, trading in bottled memories, demon pacts, and fae contraband. Through a meticulous collection of unsent letters, wiretap transcripts, police interrogations, and underground autopsy reports, a dark history unfolds detailing Gideon's violent attempt to orchestrate a massive coup against the ruling supernatural syndicates. In the present day, this dossier is delivered to his estranged daughter, Camille, following his presumed death. As Camille reads through the fragmented, damning evidence of her father's life, she must piece together the truth behind his betrayals, his manipulative methods, and the complex web of moral compromises he made to secure her future from afar. Ultimately, she faces a chilling choice: dismantle the criminal empire he left behind, or embrace his legacy and take the throne. The novel is a gritty exploration of human nature, the corrupting influence of power, and the devastating cost of survival in a world where magic is just another dirty currency.
