Why these tropes fit
Nevada Baylor, a private detective in alternate-history Houston with a magical ability to sense lies, is forced to take a case tracking a dangerous pyromaniac who has kidnapped the nephew of former combat mage Connor 'Mad' Rogan. Bound by their mission, Nevada and the law-averse Rogan clash over tactics and ethics while working together to locate the fugitive and the missing boy, with romantic tension building between them. Their investigation uncovers a darker conspiracy threatening to destroy the city and destabilize the balance of power held by the elite magical dynasties.
