*Wattys Winner 2022* 

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. 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.

But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up.

After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust?
