Set in 1925 New York during Prohibition, this historical paranormal romance follows Arthur Kenzie, a wealthy relic-hunter who protects the world from dangerous magical artifacts, and Rory Brodigan, a reclusive young psychometric who can read the history of objects through touch. When a tide-controlling amulet surfaces in the city, the two are forced to work together, and their wary partnership grows into a tender, slow-building romance even as they face supernatural enemies and the real-world dangers of being two men falling for each other in the 1920s. The book blends magic-system worldbuilding, mystery, and found-family warmth with a sweet, understated love story.
