Nights Dawn: Arcanum Black Ops, #0

By Andrew Dobell

Arcanum Agent Rebecca Chance, with her partner and lover Oliver, are sent on a dangerous mission against the Mendez Cartel, but they're not the only ones interested in what the cartel have. 

Magic is dangerous. The Arcanum's mission is to keep the Magical world in the shadows, hidden from mortal eyes. 
But when things get out of hand, the Arcanum send in the Agents of their Black Ops Division, to put things right. 

When Rebecca discovers a drug Cartel has possession of a powerful Magic Book, she and her partner Oliver are sent in to take the book away from them, before they get too powerful. 

But they might have taken on more than even they can handle. 

 

Nights Dawn is a short story prequel to the Arcanum Black Ops series that begins with Nights Rise, available through Amazon.
