With a corrupt magistrate breathing down my neck, a magical affinity to keep hidden, and my ๐ด๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต๐ญ๐บ illegal propensity for relic hunting, itโs all I can do to keep Aunt Grace and myself from destitution.
Thereโs no time left for anyone else!
Not the far-too-cheerful mage, Lord Elimri Westin, who feels indebted to me for saving his life. Nor the prickly monster-hunter, Lynk, who seems to think his job includes protecting me. And ๐ค๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ not Jaiel, the smug Fae prince who cares for nothing but himself.
No. Iโm better off on my own.
But the magistrate won’t let up, and one brief conversation with his wife makes my whole world crumble.
Now, my last chance at keeping Aunt Grace safe lies in locating a rare relic in the ruins near our estate.
