Eli, who possesses unique magical abilities, and Malcolm, desperate to escape his past and save his mother, join forces to retrieve a dangerous magical artifact in the mystical underbelly of London.

Eli doesn't know who he is or who he came from. What he does know is that he can heal a wound with just a touch, and pluck magic from a soul like a petal from a flower. Three years ago he was found by his now-best friends, Sunny and Max, and there is nothing he wouldn't steal to survive and keep his new family together. Malcolm would do anything to forget where he comes from. Desperate to escape his estranged father's shadow, and plagued with an inherited death magic he doesn't fully understand, Malcolm has just one priority: save his mother, no matter the cost. Malcom's and Eli's paths collide when Eli and his friends are sent to track down the fang of the leopard god Odebo, an deadly weapon that can eat magic. In a job filled with enigmatic nine nights and Caribbean legends, Malcolm and Eli must face their own demons as they race through the magical underbelly of London to retrienve the fang... before an ancient and malevolent power comes back to life.

Fantasy fiction.
