In New York is magie allesbehalve uitgestorven. De Mageus – de laatsten die nog magische krachten hebben – leven in de schaduwen en verbergen wie ze zijn. Als ze Manhattan binnentreden, verliezen ze hun krachten en worden ze voor altijd gevangen gehouden op het eiland. Soms overleven ze het niet... Esta is een getalenteerde dief, opgeleid om magische kunstvoorwerpen te stelen van de sinistere Orde. Met haar aangeboren talent om de tijd te manipuleren, kan Esta deze kostbare voorwerpen laten verdwijnen voordat de Orde zelfs maar beseft dat ze er is. Haar training bereidde haar voor op het ultieme doel: terugreizen in de tijd om een eeuwenoud boek te stelen dat de geheimen van de Orde bevat, voordat het vernietigd wordt en de Mageus een hopeloze toekomst tegemoet gaan.
