In modern day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic - the Mageus - live in the shadows, hiding who they are.

Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island.

Crossing it means losing their power - and often their lives.

Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink.

With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realises she's there. And all of Esta's training has been for one final job: travelling back to 1901 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order - and the Brink - before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future.
