A team of Vatican-backed investigators is on a mission to find and capture dangerous magical books and artifacts to keep them from destroying the world.
Magic is real. And it’s dangerous. It’s locked in books and relics imbued with power. But sometimes, whether by accident or by design, magic escapes and wreaks havoc upon the world. That’s when Team Three is deployed—known by their enemies as: The Bookburners. Tasked with identifying and neutralizing magical threats anywhere in the world, the Bookburners are a cohort of special investigators from wildly different walks of life—a New York City detective, a Guatemalan priest, an indestructible woman from China, a techno-occultist from Ireland, and an inquisitive scholar from the Ivory Coast. But each member of the Bookburners bears the scars of their own past magical trauma. What that means for the team, as they face horrors that threaten their sanity and their very lives, will cause them each to question their mission… and their faith in one another.

Voiced by Xe Sands. Created by Max Gladstone. Written by Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone, Margaret Dunlap, Mur Lafferty, Brian Francis Slattery, and Andrea Phillips. Executive Produced by Julian Yap and Molly Barton. Audio Edited by Amanda Rose Smith. Additional Sound Editing by Cory Barton. Original Score and Composition by Hashem Assadullahi. Musical Theme by Jody Redhage Ferber. Music mixed by Justin Morrell. Art by Annie Wu.
