CHICAGO UNDERGROUND: BOOKS 1–3
A Sofia Vega Urban Fantasy Boxed SetChicago burns from the inside out. Only one woman can see the flames.
Sofia Vega is a fire mage from Pilsen, a granddaughter of brujas, and the last line between eight million people and the things that hunt beneath their streets. Three novels. Three cases. One city that keeps trying to eat her alive.
BURNING JUSTICE (Book One)
Magical fires are tearing through Chicago, and the arsonist is family. Sofia's cousin Adriana has stolen the Vega Fire Amulet and the Codex of Flames, and she's not just burning buildings—she's rewriting the city's magic from the top of Willis Tower. But the conspiracy runs deeper than one bitter cousin. Somebody inside La Luna wants Sofia to fail. To stop the ritual, she'll have to defy her own order, trust a stubborn CPD detective who shouldn't remember magic at all, and take back a legacy that was never supposed to be hers.
THE OLD ONES (Book Two)
The blackouts start small. Then the crystalline growths appear in the substations, and Sofia realizes something ancient is riding Chicago's power grid like a summoning circle. Gods older than the city are clawing their way in—and they're using Adriana's stolen research to do it. Saving Chicago means working with the cousin who tried to destroy it, and learning what the Fire Amulet was truly built to seal. The cost will be measured in blood and magic both.
THE UNWELCOME PARTY (Book Three)
New badge. New unit. New nightmare. Detective Sofia Vega's first case with the Arcane Investigations Unit takes her into Thornfield Hall, a Gold Coast mansion built in 1891 by a man who studied at H.H. Holmes' knee. Guests keep vanishing at black-tie galas, hallways don't lead where they should, and the house itself has been awake for a very long time. To find the missing, Sofia has to walk in through the front door in an evening gown—and hope the mansion lets her walk back out.
Three full-length novels of magical noir, Chicago grit, and family you'd burn the world for.
Perfect for readers of Jim Butcher, Ilona Andrews, and Benedict Jacka. Start the series that put a fire mage on the CPD payroll.
