Synopsis
Allie Beckstrom is a Hound, an investigator who traces illegal spells back to the people who cast them. The job has taken a toll: magic has given her migraines and erased some of her recent memories. When the magical enforcement division of the police asks for her help with a missing persons case, it looks simple at first. It soon pulls her into a dark world of criminals, ghosts and blood magic.
