Book #1

Tovah Silver runs Mad Queens Inc., an unlicensed magical problem          solving agency with her three best friends. They've built their           reputation on grit, loopholes, and unrepentant competence, ignoring           those who think their perimenopausal magic tops out at party tricks.           They're wrong but correcting them would be a felony. Every one of           the Queens has a forbidden second magic buried deep-until an assassin golem forces Tovah to unleash hers. She thinks she got away with it. Then Nikolai Azarov shows up. Vancouver's only golem maker would call her story creative if he wasn't too busy calling BS. Worse, once he figures out what she actually did to that golem, he doesn't turn her in. He names his price. Now Tovah must honor a dangerous bargain with a man who's already insufferable without leverage, outmaneuver the magic cops circling her agency, and hunt down whoever left a hand-delivered clay effigy on her bed. Middle age isn't a crisis. It's a weapon.
