Summary
A trio of seemingly ordinary people are members of a secret society dedicated to protecting magical objects—everyday items imbued with extraordinary powers. The Society has remained quiet for decades, meeting twice a year in the basement of a London bookshop to safeguard their archive.
When Frank Simpson, the longest-standing member, learns of a new artifact appearing in Hong Kong, he sends newcomer Magda Sparks to investigate. Magda soon finds herself pursued by a professional killer tied to the artifact and forced to use a magical object unknown even to her fellow Society members.
Back in London, Magda uncovers hidden secrets within the Society and discovers that her own family’s legacy is entwined with the mission. Her journey expands across continents, revealing a dangerous world where others hunt magical items—and where the greatest power may not be magic itself, but the truth.
