The Shallow Drowned

Book 1 of the Hesiod Cycle

When the lines between science and magic blur, murder is just the beginning

Marisol Alcott is an assassin, but she means well.

When her adoptive father is almost killed, Marisol learns he has secrets that could threaten the life she has carefully curated to protect herself and her accidental family.

She follows the trail of his investigation to a partner who is more than he seems and a world she doesn’t understand. Missing children and murdered mothers lead to the underbelly of the magical elite, where violence and excess hide even darker sins. The lines between science and magic blur in a race to control the fate of humanity and Marisol must decide what she’s willing to risk for the sake of others.

Because to defeat the monster at the center of the maelstrom, she must face her own secrets, ones she has kept hidden to protect herself from her past — and the world from what she could become.
