The Guild Codex

Order a drink. Don't ask what the bartender is. In this corner of the modern world, magic never died out — it went underground, licensed and policed, sorted into guilds that meet in back rooms while the rest of us walk past none the wiser. Mages, witches, druids, psychics, demon-contractors: they call themselves mythics, they answer to a magical bureaucracy called MagiPol, and most of them would rather you never learned they exist. The Guild Codex tells that hidden world through four sub-series that share streets, secrets, and the occasional catastrophe. Spellbound is the front door — Tori Dawson, gloriously and stubbornly human, bluffs her way into a job pouring cocktails at a rowdy guild called the Crow and Hammer and is promptly in far over her head. Demonized turns to Robin Page and the demon bound to her fate; Warped (co-written with Rob Jacobsen) trails a spectacularly unlucky psychic conscripted into magical law enforcement; Unveiled draws the loose threads tight. Timelines overlap, and a character you meet in one series walks into another's worst night. Expect banter, found family, slow-burn romance, and steadily escalating danger, all dressed in bar-menu titles. Newcomers start with Spellbound's opening book, Three Mages and a Margarita, then follow the author's interleaved order to fold the other threads in at the right moments — read straight through and you keep meeting people you already know.
