Martyr

Allyn McCollum and his team of Machinists, the first in a new breed of magi, have successfully led the McCollum Family through an FBI manhunt, finding refuge in the home of a former rival. As the Family struggles to recover, the magi leadership has denied all pleas for help. So when the Arch Mage pays the Family an unexpected visit, Allyn fears the worst. But the news is even more terrifying than he imagined. An ancient Family has been massacred by an unknown enemy and there's only one survivor-a young girl who is too traumatized to tell her story. Hoping to avoid igniting a panic within the magi Order, Arch Mage Westarra presents the Family with a secret offer they can't refuse: discover who is behind the attack and he'll re-admit them into the magi Forum. Once again the McCollum Family turns to Allyn and his team of Machinists to see it through. Unfortunately for Allyn, the Arch Mage has secrets of his own, and the truth will change the course of magi history forever.
