Gargoyles guard things. That's a fact of life. Knuckles, head doorman of Moonlight and Magic, leads a simple life. People cause trouble, he talks to them. People continue to cause trouble, and he proves how squishable most races are compared to a creature hewn out of stone. Knuckles doesn't do gentle. That is, until he rescues Neri, a fragile human woman, quite literally from a fate worse than death. Can a gargoyle fall in love? Can a human woman make the leap of faith required to accept him for what he is?
