All six books in the bestselling Medicine and Magic series, all in one volume!
I’ve avoided the magic on this side of the Veil while training as an ER doctor. It was a way of hiding my dark magic from the mage council. I always feared them discovering my type of magic and burning it out of me, and in doing so, destroy my mind.
Everything changes when I make the mistake of saving a sexy knight of the mage council from a magical attack.
Now revealed to the council, I’m dragged into a world I wanted nothing to do with. I need to use my training to protect me, understand my magic, or I’ll lose everything I’ve worked for. Somehow, I’ve got to balance my training in medicine along with my growing responsibilities to magic. Not an easy feat when chased by demons, vampires, and a magical threat the world has never seen.

Both medicine and magic failed to save Aron. I intend to change that.
I’ve feared my magic my entire life, knowing my mother had chased dangerous magic before her death. I’ve never been able to look into how—or why—she died. Until now.
I have a name.
While struggling to help Aron, I use my new allies to search for information about the person who might be responsible for my mother’s death. With the appearance of a new mage and abilities far beyond anything I’ve ever encountered, I’m forced to abandon that search and find some way of stopping power that taps into the magic on the other side of the Veil.
Only—how can I stop a power that calls to me?
I’m close to understanding what I am, but this mage stands in my way. I intend to stop her… or die trying.

I’ve hidden from my magic long enough.
After my mother’s return, I understand that she is responsible for the strange attacks that have taken place ever since I became embroiled in the magical world. My grandparents think they can save her, but I’m not as certain.
When she summons those with power to her cell, I’m the only one who sees the danger in agreeing to her terms.
Dragged deeper into the magical world, I find that there is a greater plot afoot than only my mother. Someone has been guiding and teaching her, granting her access to power that no mage should have. Understanding who that is will take me to a place I never wanted to go—the other side of the Veil.
In order to end the attacks on the Veil and survive, I need to understand just what I am, but the power that I’ve avoided my entire life until now just might destroy me first.

The second novel in a Warlock’s Guide to Medicine—featuring a new urban fantasy hero.
Leo Berlin never wanted to be a warlock. He’d trained as a doctor but dropped out of medical school when his sister disappeared right before his graduation. Now he spends his nights running a magical medical practice and searching for Nora.
After stopping the Thelemic Guild, and finding Nora with them in the process, he’s the only one who can rescue her. By preventing the Guild from tearing through the shroud obscuring access to the magical source, he’s earned a bit of respect from the deadly and dangerous Fairy Queen who’d granted him power.
Saving Nora should be easy now… only nothing is ever easy for Leo.
A strange attack on his apartment leaves him scrambling for answers, all while dealing with a sexy witch and long repressed feelings for his friend Bells. Other similar attacks throughout the city point to an uncontrolled warlock wreaking havoc. Leo might be the only one able to stop them—if he doesn’t get burned in the process.

The first novel in a Warlock’s Guide to Medicine—introducing a new urban fantasy hero.
Leo Berlin never wanted to mess around with magic. He wanted to become a doctor. Help people. Save lives. But when his free-spirited sister Nora disappeared under suspicious and likely mystical circumstances, it threw a troll-sized wrench in Leo’s plans.
The idea was simple. Drop out of med school. Make a deal with a gorgeous Fairy Queen. Accept the intoxicatingly powerful magical abilities she could bestow upon him. Use them to find Nora—and to put an end to anyone who had hurt her or stolen her away.
The execution? A little sloppier. For a year now, Leo has been running a dubious magical medical practice while searching for clues as to Nora’s whereabouts—and only now has he stumbled on something promising. Word on the street is that a guild of wizards is meeting on the summer solstice, and Leo has caught wind that someone matching Nora’s description might be there.
Just when Leo thinks he might have finally made the break in Nora’s disappearance that he’s needed for so long, something else is dumped into his lap. Someone in the city’s clubs spiking drinks with dark magic. Worse, across the Twin Cities, even more young women are going missing—and if Leo doesn’t find them, he’s not sure anyone will.

Malignant Magic (Medicine and Magic Book 3)

SA Magnusson
$3.99
An ancient and deadly magic comes calling in my ER.
I’ve managed to stay under the radar as I continue my ER residency. All I need is to finish it out and I can get away from Minneapolis and the magic all around me. For so long, that was what I wanted. And still do… even if I can’t help it as magic begins to creep into my work.
When an injured shifter shows up in my ER with my name on him, I have no choice but to try and understand why, but doing so risks exposing my magical side to the one place I wanted to conceal it from.
Partnering with Aron leads to a discovery in the north woods that I alone think will impact magic in the city. When the mage council refuses to get involved with shifter business, I lean on a different sort of ally, but even that might not be enough to save us.
The magic attacking is like nothing I’ve faced before. This time, the Veil can’t protect us. A search for answers yields only more questions. And as the attacks progress, I need to figure out what sort of magic I have to stop the threat—or I’ll be the next victim.
Malignant Magic is a fast-paced fantasy mystery with a mixture of medicine and magic that will keep you reading late into the night.

Leo would rather practice his warlock medicine, but must help one of the few friends he has.
During Leo Berlin’s service as a warlock, he’s made plenty of enemies, but few friends. The Thelemic Guild still wants him dead, and now that he’s stopped the Order of No, he has more people after him.
When his vampire friend Helena asks for his help, Leo can’t say no.
But helping Helena means digging deeper into parts of the magical community he’d rather avoid. With a vampire hunter chasing Helena’s coven, Leo has to lean on friends and a few enemies for help, all while avoiding getting even more entangled in the fairies’ plans.
Worse, if Leo fails, a much worse threat will be unleashed upon the Cities—and it’s one Leo would be powerless to stop.

Dr. Jen Stone, MD. Emergency medicine doctor. Fledgling mage.
Living in Minneapolis and friends with a powerful mage, I’m one of the few non-magical people who knows about the magical world. I stayed on the periphery, preferring to work my shifts in the ER helping people. Until one of those patients is a vampire.
Saving him brings me deeper into a world my friend tried to keep me from—and draws me closer to a gorgeous intern with a secretive past.
It turns out I might have some magical talent of my own, but I have to master it quickly if I want to survive. Assisted by powerful dark mages, surrounded by vampires, I’m faced with an attack that seems anything but magical. I’ve got to figure out what’s happening and why before I become trapped by the vampires. The more I learn, the more dangerous it is for me, and the less I can trust those around me.
Somehow, a fledgling hedge mage like myself might be the only one to stop what’s happening, but will I be able to learn enough magic to save my life?
