A Flame Unbound

by Rebecca M. Senese

Detective Maeve Hemlock investigates a normal-looking potions shop.

Dusty shelves. Dusty bottles. Forgotten and unused. A place unvisited.

Except for tourists, looking for a magical keepsake in the stoppered bottle of a potion.

A bottle when opened unleashes destruction that threatens Crossroad City and beyond.

Visit the strange world of Crossroad City, where magic and the normal world collide. And where detective Maeve Hemlock and the Spells and Misdemeanours Bureau struggle to keep the law and the magic in check to save all.

Part of Alchemy, an Uncollected Anthology.
