Elegant Manifestations for the Beautiful and the Lost

An upscale spellcaster must draw on all her charms-both personal and magical-to solve the disappearance of her top client and angel investor in order to clear her name and save the boutique magical practice she’d give her soul to protect.

Book launch details forthcoming for January 2027 at The Booksmith, San Francisco.

“Magic and mystery, forensic and fantasy… this is a uniquely enjoyable tale.”

— David Quantick, Emmy Award-winning writer on Veep and author of The Hyena


“Elegant Manifestations for the Beautiful and the Lost is a charming, clever whirlwind of a cozy mystery, unspooling in a city where magic has awakened and spells might be concealing unspoken secrets. Khan Wong’s vividly fantastical alternate San Francisco shimmers with enchantment and brims with heart.”

— Ren Hutchings, author of Under Fortunate Stars and The Legend Liminal

Preorder links forthcoming.
