Скачать или смотреть Frost Moon by Anthony Francis | Magic, Murder, and Inked Power in Urban Atlanta

Frost Moon by Anthony Francis drops you straight into an Atlanta that most people never see—the Edgeworld, where magic lives in the margins and survival depends on knowing the rules. The story follows Dakota Frost, a sharp-tongued, highly skilled magical tattoo artist known as a “skindancer,” who runs her shop, Rogue Unicorn, in Little Five Points. Dakota’s work isn’t cosmetic; her tattoos carry real power, binding magic into skin, and that makes her both valuable and dangerous in the supernatural ecosystem she inhabits.

Things go sideways fast when Dakota is pulled into a murder investigation after a disturbing clue surfaces: a box containing a tattooed piece of human skin. This puts her on the radar of Special Agent Philip Davidson from the Department of Extraordinary Investigations and homicide detective Andre Rand. As the investigation deepens, Dakota realizes the crime isn’t just brutal—it’s personal, connected to her art, her past, and the fragile balance of power in Atlanta’s magical underground.

Beyond the central mystery, Frost Moon shines in how it builds its supernatural community. Dakota moves through a tense network of alliances and obligations involving Lady Saffron, the calculating vampire queen, Wulf the werewolf, and Cinnamon, a young weretiger who becomes Dakota’s responsibility and emotional anchor. Protecting Cinnamon forces Dakota to confront her own trauma, her reluctance to trust others, and the cost of power in a world where weakness gets exploited fast.

Adding pressure is Christopher Valentine, the Mysterious Mirabilus—a famous illusionist whose challenge to Dakota isn’t just professional but existential. His presence forces her to push her abilities further than she ever has, testing the limits of skindancing and her willingness to embrace what she’s becoming.

Frost Moon blends urban fantasy with noir-style investigation, mixing grit, magic, and emotional scars into a story that’s grounded despite its supernatural elements. It’s not flashy for the sake of it—this is about consequences, responsibility, and carving out your own code in a city that doesn’t care if you survive. Dark, smart, and sharp-edged, Frost Moon sets Dakota Frost up as a protagonist who earns every win the hard way.
