Magic is just misdirection—or so Carl Vega believed. Until a dying mentor’s warning pulls him into a world where ancient gods hide behind modern power, and myths don’t stay buried. Recruited by a crew of elite thieves who steal for prophecy, not profit, Carl is dragged into a shadow war between ruthless corporate hunters and forces older than civilization itself. At the center of it all is the jade jaguar—an artifact tied to forgotten gods, forbidden rituals, and a cosmic balance on the verge of collapse. As storms begin to behave like living things and relics awaken across the globe, Carl must rely on the only magic he truly understands: deception. Because in a world where miracles demand blood, belief, and sacrifice, sometimes it takes a thief to steal fate itself. Book One of a myth-infused urban fantasy series where ancient gods rise, modern greed reigns, and the storm has only just begun.
