In Boston, the Department of Unorthodox Affairs holds the power, with elite Auditors wielding government-sanctioned magic. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby? He’s a dropout from the Auditor program, left to lead a quiet life as a mediocre witch.
But Grimsby’s hopes for a second chance are shattered when his former mentor — the most feared witch alive — is murdered nearby, and he’s the Auditors’ prime suspect. Clearing his name means uncovering the real killer, a task that throws him into the company of the Huntsman, a retired legend, and a shadowy being from Elsewhere.
With Auditors on his trail and dangers lurking everywhere, Grimsby must confront powerful foes — and survive long enough to prove he’s more than a failed witch.
