Dangerous Thoughts

Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. His gift has brought him recognition, wealth, and the hand of Cecilia Monroe, one of the most beautiful and wealthiest women in town.

However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger.

Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy. In a world where each magician's power is unique and at times undetectable, it's hard to know who to trust...

Set in a world of magic inspired by 1860s Victorian England, Dangerous Thoughts is full of diverse characters and interesting twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns, Clockwork Angel, and Netflix's Stranger Things.
