Description
BIG SCORE, LITTLE DRAGON, LOTS OF TROUBLE
MAGIC HAS BEEN OUTLAWED FOR CENTURIES . . .
. . . but when Cima's life choices limit her gang's avenues for making a profit, they're forced to scavenge in a haunted corner of the city, where they unearth what they believe to be life-changing loot. Then it all comes apart: the hoard they've recovered is something more than material treasure, it's potent magic from before the cataclysm that brought the old world to ruin. Will the plague of magic they've unleashed destroy her chosen family, her city, and the world? Or will the recovery of the items fenced by her gang lead Cima to become the guardian of a new age?

Reviews / Votes
Praise for A Plague of Magic:"What a cool read! Cima grabs you by the heart and drags you along on her misadventure in dealing with a snarky dragon, its cursed hoard and magic that can corrupt everything in its path. This book will make you laugh, cry and cheer!" -Wen Spencer, author of the Elfhome series Praise for Marisa Wolf:
"Marisa Wolf is, hands down, my favorite new voice in science fiction and fantasy. Her trademark blend of smart-aleck characters with deep, complicated emotions and convoluted loyalties combines with fast-paced plots and unexpected twists to pull me in and leave me wide awake, breathless, desperately wishing for more at 1 AM. Every. Single. Time. She's a superstar on the rise and I am so excited to watch it happen!" -Kacey Ezell, Maj USAF (Ret.), author of Magelight Praise for Beyond Enemies:
"Humor blends with powerful confrontations in this gripping saga of engagement that works on a different level than most genre reads." -Midwest Book Review
