Theft, Murder, and Crystals: Book One of The Glimmer Chronicles

Magic has been outlawed in the city of Glimmer. A powerful artifact hanging above prevents anyone from casting as much as a single spell. For most, it’s a tragedy, but for Samuel Goldenwine, it’s the opportunity he’s been waiting for all his life. His best friend, a strange and clever sorcerer, knows a loophole, a way to bypass the artifact and create magic items that still work. And in a city full of rich men and women who miss their spells, that loophole means only one thing: gold! Sure, they might be breaking the law by selling these magic items, and sure, it may be considered an act of treason by the city, but what else is a budding entrepreneur to do? The path of selling contraband is a dark one, full of danger, secrets and those who are willing to kill to get a piece of the profits. Can Samuel’s crew navigate the treacherous streets of Glimmer and find the wealth they so desperately desire? Or will the city and its many dark denizens swallow them up? Theft, Murder, and Crystals is a fantasy crime novel that will take you on a journey into the lives of men and women who disregard the law, all in search for wealth, power and recognition. It’s a long way to the top, but Samuel is determined to get there.
