NINTH HOUSE X MOON OVER SOHO

In an alt timeline where healing magic belongs to the rich, an idea that changes everything can be worth killing for.

I think you in particular will understand- I was inspired by working in drug discovery and seeing amazing science and health outcomes being at the mercy of the money… funding is capricious!

Thank you!

When the body of one of the healer-caste elite turns up on their university campus, two outcasts’ search for truth will lead them to the roots of magic: deadly threats, century-old secrets, and a scientist who’ll change everything.

Who do we trust to heal the world?
