#45 Gutter Mage by J.S. Kelley

 

When Roz’s friend brings her a lead on a case of a missing child of a Lord she doesn’t want to take it but at Lye’s urging at the money and how it will help him she agrees.  Roz has hands that can cast fire due to her past in a mage school that she doesn’t want to talk about.  She has a attitude towards most people but is loyal to her friends.  Clues in the case point to events that happened in her past and she must ask help of a former lover who is a mage of some importance.  There isn’t much mystery as to who is behind the case and most of the story is trying to stop what is going on.  This is a good first book in a series that introduces the setting and characters to let the reader know that the writer is definitely planning more in the series, and I hope that does happen.
