Dreaming of a white cat, Cassel wakes up on the roof of his boarding school. Bad dreams are nothing new. His family is a wreck, his girlfriend dumped him, and a dark secret weighs on his mind. When he was fourteen, he murdered Lila Zacharov, the girl he loved. He does not remember the murder, only a sense of joy. But as the dreams continue, he begins to question the events of that terrible night as well as the role his two older brothers played in covering things up. He soon realizes that his brothers, both of whom have close ties to the Zacharov crime family, are hiding things from him. When a real white cat shows up, things get even stranger. In Cassel's world, magic exists, but it is forbidden by law. Magic workers offer their services on a black market dominated by mafia families. Cassel comes from a clan of talented curse workers. The only one without powers, he is a jaded outsider, accustomed to the graft but too sensitive to be a true con artist. With or without magic, he is trapped by his upbringing.This fresh urban fantasy offers an intriguing cast of characters and thoughtful world building. Cassel's relationships with his grandfather and school friends offer glimmers of light in an otherwise dark and gritty story. Readers who know their fairy tales will see threads of the traditionalWhite Cat.

Synopsis
The first in a trilogy, this gritty, fast-paced fantasy is rife with the unexpected. Cassel comes from a shady, magical family of con artists and grifters. He doesn't fit in at home or at school, so he's used to feeling like an outsider. He's also used to feeling guilty--he killed his best friend, Lila, years ago. But when Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat, and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila. In his search for answers, he discovers a wicked plot for power that seems certain to succeed. But Cassel has other ideas-- and a plan to con the conmen.
