DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?

CHARLATAN'S MAGIC

Believing can lead to ruin. Not believing...that can lead to murder.

Not all the streets of the Jewel City glitter at night. Some are dark and twisted, places where trickery feeds off of superstition. A pickpocket like Ben might be used to these dark corners...but love can change a man. Should he betray the woman he loves? Does he have a choice? Will he follow his heart, firmly in the grasp of the beautiful Athena, or give in to the crooked life he has always known?
