Magic Lost, Trouble Found by Lisa Shearin

Raine is a sorceress of moderate powers, from an extended family of smugglers and thieves. With a mix of street smarts and magic spells, she can usually take care of herself. But when her friend Quentin, a no-quite-reformed thief, steals and amulet from the home of a powerful necromancer, Raine finds herself wrapped up in more trouble than she cares for. She likes attention as much as the next girl, but having an army of militant goblins hunting her down is not her idea of a good time. The amulet they're after holds limitless power, derived from an ancient, soul-stealing stone. And when Raine takes possession of the item, it takes possession of her.

Now her moderate powers are increasing beyond anything she could imagine--but is the resume enchancement worth her soul?

Lisa Shearin is the New York Times bestselling author of the Raine Benares novels (The Brimstone Deception, The Dragon Conspiracy, and The Grendel Affair), a comic fantasy adventure series, and the SPI Files novels (The Brimstone Deception, The Dragon Conspiracy, and The Grendel Affair), an urban fantasy series best described as Men in Black but with supernaturals instead of aliens. Lisa is a ravenous collector of vintage and modern fountain pens, teapots, and teacups. She lives with her husband, three spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and enough deer and woodland critters to fill a Disney movie on a small property in North Carolina.
