Description

His magic is a curse… until it becomes his only hope.

Blaise Hawthorne just wants to bake, but his dangerous magic has left him an outcast, his kitchen a sanctuary. When the iron-fisted Salt-Iron Confederation hunts him to exploit his power, Blaise flees. He finds refuge with outlaws in the lawless Gutter, forging an unlikely alliance with a sugar-loving pegasus, a notorious gunslinger, and a charming but secretive entrepreneur. But the Confederation's hunger for control threatens even this haven. Can Blaise master his magic before the Confederation destroys his newfound family?

This pulse-pounding first book in the Tales of the Outlaw Mages series catapults readers into an Old West-inspired realm where magic intertwines with grit, and the bonds of chosen family are tested by fire. Perfect for fans of heartfelt sagas, LGBTQ+ inclusive narratives, and the charm of the unconventional.
