It's a little like if the West Wing had to deal with magic emergencies. If the characters from Amadeus were clashing about power. If Strange & Norrell was happening in the modern day. If The Power Fantasy was dark academia instead of superheroes. So if you like any of those, check out our show!

After premiering at the Tribeca Festival last summer, our first season launched in October. Over the course of 16 breakneck episodes, we told the story of Adam and Amy's first few years as magicians. Now we're back, with the first of another set of 16 that'll released over the next 12 months.

There's actually FIVE other people out in the world who have magic powers. They've been there the whole time. The story's focus just hasn't been on them so far. With today's episode... all of that changes. This is a season about what happens when people with godlike powers stop seeing eye to eye.

The show tells the story of Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling. They're the first two people in the modern world to get magic. Real magic. They sorta hate one another. They're also a little in love with one another. But first... doesn't mean ONLY.

Look, I will always be here for a new take on Dracula, there’s a lot about this that sounds like it’ll be fire. But if you want an audio take on Dracula that does a lot of this, you could wait until Oct 1st ORRRRRR… 😅
From an article: 

“The official synopsis for the Audible Original reads: “When her fiancé vanishes in Transylvania, Mina Murray pieces together fragments of letters, diary entries and chilling testimony to hunt the predator stalking those she loves, only to discover he’s already hunting her. When Mina’s closest friend Lucy succumbs to his thrall, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is summoned to wage war on this unfathomable threat. But it is Mina, with her intellect, her resolve, her gift for drawing unseen lines between clues, who may hold the key to stopping this ancient predator—if he hasn’t already found his way inside her mind.””
