Synopsis
Magic runs the machines. Secrets run the city. And Squad 54 stands between order and chaos. Conall thought he’d buried the past with his brother. But when a cryptic summons surfaces—tied to a long-vanished village and a wolf who should be dead—he’s forced to retrace the path of the disbanded Squad 54. What he finds in the shadows could unravel not only their fate, but the fragile balance between elf and human kind. Back in New Torwood City, Princess Rowan Andula is done playing the figurehead. With a seat on the ruling council, she's ready to fight for her family’s legacy—until the city’s giant mech guardian begins to fail. Talos isn't just a machine. He’s the heart of the city. His collapse could bring down everything her ancestors fought to preserve. As enemies close in and new treacheries are revealed, Conall and Rowan must face the same question: How far will you go to protect what you love? Mech and Magic is the second thrilling installment of The Knack Series—where ancient tech, dangerous politics, and fierce loyalties collide.
