Every generation, thirteen magicians receive a single, coveted invitation. Not to fame. Not to fortune. But to Scholomance-a hidden school buried somewhere in the old bones of Europe- where illusion is abandoned, and true magic is learned at the Devil’s feet. The price has always been clear: Thirteen enter. Twelve return. One soul is payment. For centuries, the pact held. Until one student found a way to cheat Hell. Enter Detective A.J. Stephens-a man with failing kidneys, nothing left to lose, and no patience for superstition-assigned to investigate what looks like a grisly pattern of murders. But A.J. soon discovers the deaths aren’t the work of a serial killer. It’s a debt collector. As reality fractures and the supernatural bleeds in the streets of Atlantic City and Las Vegas, A.J. is forced to confront a horrifying truth: Magic is real. Hell has rules. And the Devil always gets what he’s owed.
