In brand-new stories spun off from the New York Times Bestselling Kitty Norville series, dark mysteries push the bounds of sanity. Cormac Bennett, ex-con and former bounty hunter, is a paranormal investigator with an edge: his partner is the disembodied spirit of a Victorian wizard, Amelia Parker. Together, they solve problems no one else can. Cormac and Amelia travel to South Dakota, where an archeologist has hired them to examine an artifact for possible magical qualities. Cormac is skeptical, Amelia is intrigued. And it turns out – the whole thing is a trap. Cormac used to make his living killing monsters, and he made more than a few enemies back in the day. Who from his past is out for revenge, and can he and Amelia survive?

Cormac, a former bounty hunter of supernatural creatures, and Amelia, the essence of a Victorian wizard who survived her own execution and now shares his body, have settled down to a quiet life in the country. Or so they think. On a proverbial dark and stormy night, a visitor in trouble lands on their doorstep: Odysseus Grant, a magician with secrets. A dangerous demon has escaped his control, and he needs their help capturing it. Reluctantly, Cormac and Amelia agree—And get thrown across space, time, and alternate dimensions, on a journey far outside their wheelhouse and abilities, full of weird magic, strange creatures, and even some old friends. All they can do is work together and hope they make their way home, sooner rather than later.

Cormac is a former bounty hunter turned paranormal investigator. Amelia is a Victorian wizard wrongfully executed for murder a century ago. Now, her spirit shares his body, and together they've become supernatural problem solvers. Detectives. Fixers, if you will. With each new case they wonder – is this one more than they can handle? So far, the answer is no... For the first time, five previously published stories spun off from the New York Times Bestselling Kitty Norville series, full of mystery, magic, and horror appear together in print – along with a brand-new story revealing just how much attention Cormac and Amelia's exploits have attracted. (This collection includes the previously published stories “Long Time Waiting,” “Dark Divide,” “Badlands Witch,” “Fatal Storm,” and “Charmed Waters.”)
