You'll never see me. Nobody sees us, only what we use our magic to show them. My family named me Nick, but all our lives we were raised moving from one identity to another, learning the arts of deception, observation, and the secret of illusion magic.

You'll never see me. Nobody sees us, only what we use our magic to show them. My family named me Nick, but all our lives we were raised moving from one identity to another, learning the arts of deception, observation, and the secret of illusion magic. I didn't even see that my own sister had survived, when our family's one mistake got my parents killed. Now, years have passed-years I spent thinking I was alone. Now I find Valerie again, living a life even better-hidden than mine. A life that's only revealed when she's charged with murder. Now she needs her brother. The real killer is out there, and he has no idea how many secrets, tricks, and magical faces I can call up to drag him out of hiding. But... I've never imagined a threat like him, to our whole way of existence. Or that everything we know about our lives might have been deceiving us. And it's the things you don't see that get you.
Autorenporträt
Ken Hughes is a professionally qualified Mechanical Engineer, now retired. Born in Denton, Lancashire, England in 1947 during the period of austerity immediately after the Second World War, he is a native citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Of northern stock, he inherits the down to earth attitudes typical of that region. As a young child, he played in the rubble that was the city of Portsmouth and throughout his life has borne witness to the rebuilding and regrowth of the UK. He was educated in the local schools and colleges and attended the University of Portsmouth where he read Mechanical Engineering. He has spent the majority of his career in technical and managerial roles in the process plant engineering and construction industry. This has been mainly within the UK, but with some time spent in the USA in the 1980s and more recently on continental Europe, as a freelance Engineering Consultant. He has always had a marked interest in physics, astronomy and cosmology and a fascination for gravity, but his professional engineering career has not utilised his scientific leanings and abilities. So, perhaps later in life than might have been expected, he has finally found the time, the energy and the motivation to finally clarify these outstanding issues in science that have been troubling him over the years.
