'A NEW, ACTION-PACKED, ENCHANTINGLY FUN SERIES' Booklist on Ink & Sigil From New York Times bestselling author Kevin Hearne comes the final book in his hugely entertaining Ink & Sigil series, as an ink-slinging wizard pursues the answer to a very personal mystery . . . Al MacBharrais is a practitioner of ink-and-sigil magic, tasked with keeping order among the gods and monsters that dwell in the human world. But there's one supernatural mystery he's never been able to solve: years ago, someone cast twin curses on him that killed his apprentices and left him bereft and isolated. But he's not quite alone. As Al works to solve this mystery, his friends - Buck Foi the hobgoblin, Nadia the goth queen and battle seer, and the former Irish death goddess known as the Morrigan - draw him into their own eccentric dramas and shenanigans. However, Al's being pulled in so many different directions by his colleagues, a suspicious detective, and the whims of destructive gods that he begins to wonder: will he ever find time to write his own happy ending?

'Maiga Doocy's voice is nothing short of masterful . . . I would gladly take an arrow for either Leo or Grimm' Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy 'This is the fastest I've devoured a book in a long time. One of the best reads of the year for me! 10/10, I miss Leo and Grimm already' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Desperate to undo the curse binding them together, an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell - only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together. An irresistible cosy fantasy for fans of A Marvellous Light and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics, content to spend his days thinking up charms that can summon butterflies or turn hair pink. That is, until a mishap with forbidden magic compels Leo to obey his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite - respected, talented and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. They need a counterspell, and fast. Chasing rumours of a powerful sorcerer, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest teeming with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws. To break the curse, they'll have to uncover the true depths of Leo's magic, set aside their animosity and - much to their horror - work together. Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them. 'I loved this book! . . . One of the best slow-burn relationships I've seen in a long time.
