A Criminal Magic

Set in Washington, DC, in 1926, the narrative unfolds in a world where the 18th Amendment has banned magic, leading to a flourishing underground scene. Smuggling rings transport magical contraband, while sorcerers assist mobsters with illusions during their criminal activities. The rise of 'magic havens' offers the public an escape into immersive magical experiences, alongside a dangerous and addictive substance known as 'the sorcerer's shine,' highlighting the intertwining of magic and crime in a prohibition-era society.
