Working at a shop called the Vagile Ajna in a town called Cummings Cove, across the street from a store named Cummings Master Baiter, was clearly not enough for me. I had to go and find myself a police chief named Phoquin, two shifter twins who tend to "lose" their pants, and a murder.

I have lived my whole life in the shadow of a magical secret being none the wiser.... I am nobody. I am nothing. That is what has run through my head since I was a small child. Freak. Garbage.
