About Shadow Boxer (Tales of the Secret City)

In Hell's Kitchen, where magic and mayhem are just part of the neighborhood, Vinny "The Charm" Caruso has carved out a reputation as a boxer with supernatural flair. His charm magic gives him an edge in and out of the ring, allowing him to navigate the underworld of magical fight clubs and supernatural politics. When Factory Fire Ghosts abduct Angela, Vinny's girlfriend and a gifted healer, he's thrust into a race against time. What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into something far more dangerous as Vinny uncovers a plot orchestrated by Duchess Morana, a powerful Fae noble. Alongside his mentor Mickey, the street-wise Sal, and a half-Fae detective named Ironwood, Vinny must infiltrate the Ninth Circle Casino. There, he discovers that Angela's healing abilities are the key to an ancient ritual, which could tear the veil between worlds and reshape reality itself. As the autumn equinox approaches, Vinny and his allies face down the Wild Hunt, disrupt a centuries-old magical conspiracy, and confront hidden truths about Angela's bloodline that trace back to the infamous Factory Fire. With his charm magic pushed to its limits and the future of Hell's Kitchen hanging in the balance, Vinny will have to fight smarter and harder than ever before—because this time, the stakes are higher than just his next win in the ring.
