Six months ago, a containment breach spilled magic into the Chesapeake Bay and Zach Marsile is one of the few people in the world who knows about it. As a member of the Guard, the group tasked with keeping humanity safe from magic, he's working as part of the team trying to clean it up.

Zach is content playing a supporting role, but when a new leak is sprung, he must attempt a dangerous solo mission. Infiltrating the training base of a pro-magic cult, he needs to steal a priceless grimoire. The deeper Zach gets, the closer he's drawn to a beautiful, bright spirited trainee and the murkier his beliefs become, but time is running out to stop the leak before it causes a cascade of breaches that will devour the world.

Tide of Shadows is the sequel to Tangled Shadows
