Magic can bring you what you want but at what cost?

Joanna and Esther's father is killed while investigating a mysterious spellbook in his collection. Esther and Joanna are stuck trying to carry out their father's plans when their lives collide with Nicholas, a magical scribe who creates books like those their father collected. But should those plans really be followed or should plans change as they try to help Nicholas escape his own family plans?

Tórzs tells a tale of family secrets and the cost of power. The thriller pace keeps you guessing at what comes next. The language is masterful, evocative without getting purple. I'm really looking forward to what Tórzs writes next.
