Urban Fantasy – Humorous Fantasy – Social SatireThe magical underground market beneath Portland's busiest bridge is about to be demolished.Elizabeth White has no magic, no ancient bloodline, and absolutely no interest in becoming a hero. What she does have is a talent for marketing, a ruthless understanding of loopholes, and three years of experience selling overpriced tap water to people who believe in aura cleansing.Then Apex Arcana LLC arrives.The venture-backed warlock conglomerate wants to replace the market's witches, vampires, goblins, gargoyles, and artisan bakers with a polished luxury development. Their weapons are eminent domain, corporate lawyers, surveillance magic, regulatory sabotage—and enough money to bury the neighborhood under concrete.Elizabeth's answer?Rebrand the market.With the help of Larry Rivera, a fiercely traditional baker protecting a 112-year-old magical sourdough starter, Elizabeth turns an illegal monster bazaar into an artisanal cultural landmark. Soon, cursed goods become premium wellness products, frost-damaged bread becomes a luxury delicacy, and gentrification itself becomes a marketing strategy.But Apex Arcana is escalating.Now Elizabeth must outmaneuver demolition golems, hostile inspectors, infrastructure takeovers, and a corporate warlock who believes bureaucracy is merely another weapon of power.In this sharp, irreverent urban fantasy novel, magic meets corporate satire, workplace chaos, small-business warfare, and dark humor—with a little sourdough on the side.Because when corporate sorcerers come for your home, sometimes the most dangerous spell is knowing exactly which form to file.
