The neon glow of Times Square casts long shadows into the grimy back alleys of Hell's Kitchen, where magic whispers in the darkness. For Vinny Caruso, magic is a hustle, a way to survive in a city that chews up the weak. But survival comes at a price — a debt to the city's most dangerous crime family.
Vinny's gift—a rare ability to manipulate emotions he calls "charm"—has always been his edge on the streets. But when he owes the wrong people, charm isn't enough. To settle his debt, Vinny must fight in the city's hidden magical arena, where brutal opponents wield powers as deadly as any bullet. Each fight pushes him further into the darkness, forcing him to confront the true cost of his power and the lengths he'll go to pay his debts.
Shadow Boxer, the gripping third installment in the Tales of the Secret City series, explores the dark side of magic in a gritty urban world where every fight is a gamble with life and soul.
