My name is Quinn MacKenna, and magic doesn’t work on me. When I’m not getting roped into bar brawls in Boston, I’m usually acquiring - stealing is a form of acquisition, you know - dangerous magical artifacts to turn around and sell them to the highest bidders.

Favors are the only currency that will buy the answers I seek: Why magic doesn’t work on me, and who my real father is.
