The Interdictor doesn't have a heart.A battle with a powerful sorceress has left him a heartless zombie, his blood cold, his life as rhetorical as his tightly knit persona. When his father pulls him into his growing ambitions in the criminal underworld of Break Pointe, The Interdictor discovers a possible escape from his cold hell: the Slumary.The Slumary is a hidden supernatural district of Break Pointe inaccessible to most, but the source of the sling magic underlining the illicit mystical trade in the city. The Interdictor's search for a cure to his condition leads him to Conundra, a powerful street witch versed in the magical arts of numerous dimensions. Her struggle to keep the darker forces of magic out of the world runs headlong into his father's encroachment on The Slumary and the proliferation of magic in the city.The free and unskilled use of sling magic erodes the tenuous barrier between the practical world and the threat of an ancient mystical force intent on destroying the world. Conundra fights to keep them at bay, but in the cruel power of this dark magic beats the heart of The Interdictor's peace.
