Out of Time Out of Options JackPointer mage Winterhawk left the shadows at the top of his game: these days he indulges his curiosity about all things mysterious and magical on his own terms. But hes about to discover that the shadows are hard to leave behind and old enemies have their ways of drawing him back in.

Dosed with an exotic arcane poison that will kill him in days unless he retrieves a powerful magical artifact Hawk has to assemble a team fast and think even faster because hes not the only one tracking down the prize. His team is hardly the well-oiled machine hes accustomed to: an old friend with major trust issues an old rival who hates everything Hawk stands for a decker who annoys everyone he meets a samurai whos only in it for the money and a gunslinger who may have her own agenda.
