Firstborn child of a failed witch hunter, a baby girl was promised to the local witch in exchange for her father's life. Seventeen years later, she’s living life to the fullest. A quirky but loving mother, a home with never a dull moment, magic she's not supposed to be able to use—a life of freedom and laughter, until they receive unexpected news.

Oliver, the meek son of a wealthy British industrialist, discovers the identity of a notorious thief, a man who has been skillfully evading Scotland Yard and snatching priceless artifacts for sport: Mr. Scant, his family butler. After first fearing for his life, Oliver discovers Mr. Scant's secret within a secret: the butler's crimes are actually a series of strikes against an underground group of business tycoons trying to master black magic.

He’s studied the Rules extensively, not so that he’ll know what to do and what not to do, but so that he’ll know what to do openly and what to sneak around at. There’s a good side to having such a disorderly Master. If something goes missing, he’ll either forget he ever had it, or he’ll assume he sold it at a massive profit, or donated it to a worthy Nexus Hall, or something suitably egotistical. Residing deep in the bottom of Streep’s pack are three texts, ancient and worn. If he’s ever caught with them, there could be trouble. Well, actually, if any sorcerer ever catches him, he’ll call two of his friends, and they’ll form an ad-hoc Threeloom, put Streep in their Angle, and throw the Grand Weaving of Irresistible Truthfulness over him. Then he’ll say “Yes, I stole some texts from Basil. I stole Riggen’s Basic Bastings, Vonfleck’s The Language of Finger-Runes, and Que’s Weaver’s Cookbook, and I’ve studied them all,” and then they’ll cut both hands off at the wrists, burn his eyes and ears out with a hot iron, and set him to begging for a living, is what they’ll do.
