Sequel to the New York Times bestseller Amari and the Night Brothers!
Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this magical second book in the New York Times and Indie bestselling Supernatural Investigations trilogy—perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, the Percy Jackson series, and Nevermoor.
After finding her brother and saving the entire supernatural world, Amari Peters is convinced her first full summer as a Junior Agent will be a breeze.
But between the fearsome new Head Minister’s strict anti-magician agenda, fierce Junior Agent rivalries, and her brother Quinton’s curse steadily worsening, Amari’s plate is full. So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to stand up for magiciankind as its new leader, she declines. She’s got enough to worry about!
But her refusal allows someone else to step forward, a magician with dangerous plans for the League. This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers’ successor and determine the future of magiciankind.
The Great Game is both mysterious and deadly, but among the winner’s magical rewards is Quinton’s last hope—so how can Amari refuse?
The series
Beneath the polished surface of the everyday world lies something far stranger—a place where elevators open to other dimensions, time twists like fog, and magic isn’t just real, it’s heavily regulated. In the Supernatural Investigations series, the ordinary collides with the extraordinary through the eyes of a girl who was never meant to fit the mold.
Read full series description
At the heart of the story is Amari Peters, a fiercely determined Black girl from the projects who stumbles into a secret world of supernatural law enforcement while searching for her missing brother. But this isn’t a chosen-one tale wrapped in shiny fantasy tropes. It’s a raw, heart-thumping journey where social boundaries cut as deeply as magical ones, and bravery means standing tall even when the world refuses to see you.
The series blends urban fantasy with a deep sense of emotional gravity. Think magical bureaucracies with dark corners, shimmering artifacts with devastating power, and friendships forged under impossible pressure. There’s wonder here, yes—but it’s laced with danger, questions of justice, and the bittersweet realization that growing up means redefining who you are again and again.
What makes this world pulse is not just its imaginative depth, but how grounded it feels. The supernatural might be hidden behind secret doors and illusion spells, but its consequences echo in the real world—especially for those already fighting to be seen. With each book, the stakes grow, not just in spells or secrets, but in what Amari is willing to sacrifice to hold on to her identity, her family, and her sense of right and wrong.
Mysterious, emotionally rich, and laced with sharp humor, this fantasy series captures the kind of storytelling that lingers—where even the most magical elements feel rooted in truth. For readers who crave adventure that challenges norms and heroes who redefine what strength looks like, this world is waiting to be uncovered.
