H is a mob enforcer for the highest-ranking capo in the Vegas Underworld–a city that coexists in a parallel plane with Las Vegas and where dead casinos experience a magical rebirth.

At the start of the annual magic convention in Las Vegas, a sinister mage assassinates a wielder with the potential to represent an unknown benevolent being. The killer pins the murder on the Syndicate, the governing magical body of the Vegas Underworld. The Syndicate belongs to a society of Chambers hailing from all over the world. They have kept the peace among all members through contractual obligations negotiated every 75 years during a magic convention. This uneasy alliance is threatened by the demise of the wielder. To stave off a Chamber war, H's boss sends him on a mission to clear the Syndicate's name or an all-out war will drown the Vegas Underworld in blood. Book details: published 2017.
