Conversion

The Conversion Stone was supposed to be a myth. A stone that can turn humans into mages couldn't possibly be real. So when Callum DeRossi hires a treasure hunter to find it, Inspector Araiah Walker of the Anti Terrorism and Organised Crime Division (ATOC) smells a rat. The most wanted mage in the developed world, head of the terrorist organisation The Outcast Sons, chasing a legend? Not likely. Drugs, possibly. Weapons, probably. Whatever DeRossi wants to smuggle into the country, Araiah knows it's not going to be good.The only upside is that DeRossi's little venture has brought Richard Cleveland, the talented antiquities smuggler, onto her radar. Her team could finally have a chance to get an informant right in DeRossi's inner circle. For the first time in more than thirty years, they could have a chance to bring down his whole organisation. Until, that is, Araiah's team loses Cleveland.With no informant and no leads on his whereabouts, the team are assigned a new case. Half-breeds are going missing all over the city and it seems DeRossi is behind it. Worse, there are suggestions that the powers of the Conversion Stone might not be so mythical after all.The Sons aren't going to give in without a fight, and with the body count rising, Araiah needs all the help she can get to stop DeRossi creating his own private army. But with betrayal lurking around every corner, is there anyone she can trust?
