Al MacBharrais is no ordinary Scotsman—he’s a master of ink and sigil magic, with a flair for turning paper into pure power. Life for Al is mostly smooth: crafting spells, sipping cocktails, and keeping mischievous gods in line. But when he’s not wrangling magic, he’s part of a global sigil network, ready to tackle the supernatural chaos no one else can handle.
A fellow agent vanishes in Australia, and it’s not just a case of getting lost in the outback. Sinister forces are at play, and bodies start piling up faster than Al’s whisky stash dwindles. With his loyal (and slightly unhinged) crew—Nadia, the pit-fighting accountant, a cheeky hobgoblin, and a Druid with a couple of talking dogs—Al dives into danger. The deeper they go, the clearer it gets: failure means more than a few lost lives; it could spell chaos for the world.
Can Al outwit a monster that hasn’t been seen for centuries, or will this be the one battle ink can’t solve?
