Mind magic

Thanks to the mindspeech lessons she's receiving from the black dragon, Lily is temporarily benched from Unit Twelve until her brain acclimates and the risk of total burnout passes.

But when her mentor calls in a favour and sends Lily to a murder scene, she's suddenly back on active status, despite the hallucinations she can't keep at bay.

With one touch, Lily knows the man was killed by magic, but her senses don't warn her how far the conspiracy goes.

With none of her usual resources, Lily is up against impossible odds and can't trust anything she feels.
