Cassel is cursed. Haunted by the memory of the fourteen-year-old girl he murdered. Life at school is a constant test, and at his house everything is even worse. No one there forgets that Cassel is a murderer. No one forgets that Cassel is not a hex-maker. Cassel's family works for one of the Big Five Mafia families in the United States. Ever since magic was outlawed in 1929, its practitioners have been drawn underground and into a life of crime. And while people still need his services, hexes, assassinations, and transformations, life is hard. His grandfather has taken to drink, his mother is serving time in prison and his brothers hate him for being the only one in the family incapable of working magic. However, a secret is hidden within the Cassel family. A terrifying secret that he is about to inherit: the truth. "White Cat" is an extraordinary novel that takes us to a world transformed by magic. In this world, only 1% of the population is capable of magic, but their powers are worthy of a nightmare.
