Powerful people want to control luck at any cost and Chancy's too lucky for her own good.

Chancy finds herself in a strange place and deep in debt to a local loan shark. With only twenty-four hours to pay up, she needs money fast—but trying to get it exposes her rare ability to shift luck, and now dangerous factions all over the city won't stop until her magic is under their control.

If she can’t fight back, she'll lose her freedom and become a commodity in this secret world where luck is too valuable, and everything has a price.

To survive, she’ll have to make new allies, embrace her powers, and rise to position. Being lucky isn't enough. Chancy will have to be more.

Beginner's Luck is the action-packed first book in The Antiquities Chronicles urban fantasy series. Grab your copy now.
