The Dark Arts series is David Mack’s original urban fantasy work, separate from his tie-in fiction. The Midnight Front (2018) introduces a group of Allied magicians fighting a supernatural war alongside the conventional one during World War II. The Iron Codex (2019) picks up in the Cold War era, and The Shadow Commission (2020) concludes the trilogy.
The series also includes shorter works like Shadowbound (2016), Hexbound (2016), Soulbound (2017), and Hell Rode With Her (2019). Mack brings the same sense of scale and consequence to this fantasy series that he applies to his Star Trek novels, treating the magical warfare with the same seriousness as a military thriller.
