After her release from magical prison, Jessica Northwood can’t hold a job to save her life. So when an apprenticeship opens up at a spellbound bank, no questions asked, she can’t exactly say no… But she definitely should have.
For centuries, the bank’s owners have stood between the Gateway in the upstairs hall and the occult syndicate who want it for themselves. As the current owner, the scryer witch is supposed to have that under control. But when the woman turns up dead, Jessica’s employment contract now says she’s the one tasked with this lethal responsibility.
Jessica has no idea what she’s doing…and the bank won’t let her leave. As she deals with magical clientele who know the stakes far better than she does, Jessica must decide just how far she’s willing to go to keep this job. Because if she doesn’t, she’ll end up as dead as the body in the lobby. Or worse.
Illona Andrews’ Inkeeper Chronicles meets The Magicians in this snarky, fast-paced Urban Fantasy Adventure from International Bestselling Author Kathrin Hutson.

She couldn’t care. It was beyond physical
abuse. Claire knew that the next time John laid hands on her, it would be the
last. Every time he touched her, kissed her, tore the clothes off her body, she
made love to a dead fish; cold, sweaty, wet with the stench of an over
consumption of alcohol. 
The next day Elena felt lighter.
It was her birthday. I still didn’t care, but what choice did I have?
I hadn’t even Dented. The fucking spell was trying to suck me in, forcing me into what it wanted me to become.
Maybe George hadn’t been strong enough to fight it. Maybe he’d had Becky’s yapping in his mind and gave in. Well, I wasn’t some fucking Moon-Bolt who didn’t have the balls to fight.
I would break the spell. Whoever had come up with it would learn they’d made a mistake trying to control dragons.
I’m the Alpha. I won’t go down like that.
Until then, I had to endure every fucking moment of her rescue. Luckily, my father came through. He got her away from Stan and back with friends.
Her happiness clashed with my darkness, and their reunion made me shudder. It felt as if I would throw up, and I wasn’t even near her. My body felt wrong.
I tried to push her thoughts away and get my fucking life back. With effort, and some killer headaches, her yapping became more dull, like whispers.
It was bearable.
I could still see the events taking place in Elena’s life. It was exhausting.
I wasn’t giving in though. I’d fight until the bitter end.

I woke up just after lunch. Her voice was ringing inside my head, like an alarm clock I couldn’t snooze.
At least she was having fun and not whining. She was riding jet-skis with Emanual, King Helmut’s dragon. She was sitting behind him, with her arms wrapped around his waist. She felt conflicted. She was happy, but it was more than that.
I laughed as I realized what it was.
She was attracted to Emanual’s human form.
Better him than me.
I tuned in.
“It’s like flying,” she said, the jet-ski speeding through the water.
What did she know about flying? As I remember, she was scared of heights when she became a dragon.
“I forgot to ask you. How did it feel to be a dragon?” Emanual asked.
“Don’t. I miss it more than anything in this world.”
Had she embraced her dragon side? When? Why couldn’t I remember?
