The Last Magician
By Lisa Maxwell
Simon Pulse
Manhattan is no place for magic in Lisa Maxwell’s The Last Magician. In the early 1900s the Order put practices in place that would ferret out those with magical powers, the Mageus. And in today’s world just crossing into the city limits, through the Brink, a dark energy barrier, causes the remaining Mageus to lose their power or in some cases die. But the young Esta, a thief, has found a way to travel back to 1901 and put a stop to the future injustices of her people. (July 2017)
