Midnight Transactions: A Night Magic Romance (The Unbound #4)
Andrew Yahodka
A client pays Irene in something worse than cash -- an old magical debt
that binds her to seven nights of ritual work in the most dangerous thin
places of the city. Seven locations where reality wears through. Seven
rituals that will cost her blood, sleep, and the professional distance
she has maintained for three years.
Soran appears on the first night. Uninvited. Unexplained. Standing at
the edge of her circle like he belongs in the geometry of her work.
She doesn't ask why he came.
By the fourth night, she stops pretending she expected him not to.
Irene is a practitioner of night magic -- rituals for cash, clients
without questions, the Underside visible only to those born seeing it.
She works alone. She has always worked alone. The demon who cannot leave
Earth and the practitioner who will not examine why he stays have
maintained their arrangement through professional vocabulary and
deliberate silence for three years.
But seven nights of dangerous work have a way of making silence louder.
When an observer begins documenting the pattern -- the distance that
shrinks, the rituals that work better when he is present, the word she
almost says and doesn't -- Irene must destroy the evidence before
someone names what she refuses to name. Because the records don't just
threaten her practice. They describe him. And seeing what she feels
written in someone else's handwriting makes it real in a way she is not
prepared to survive.
Seven nights. Six with him. One without.
She knows which was harder.
She knows the reason isn't the location.
Book 4 in The Unbound series. Each book is a complete story with an
evolving central relationship. Best enjoyed in order.
For readers who want: slow-burn tension that never breaks, magic that
costs, demons who stay without explaining why, and silence heavier than
any spoken word.
