His seemingly ordinary police career takes an extraordinary turn when he becomes the first apprentice wizard in decades, training under Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale. As supernatural crimes plague London, Peter must navigate both his police duties and his newfound magical abilities while uncovering a sinister force that's causing ordinary citizens to commit brutal acts of violence.
