My life used to be simple. Then a PI showed up, asking about a missing ex of mine. A corpse and a vampire attack later, I've got a guardian dragging me further in to the world of magic with a gift of magic I never knew I had. Now I'm getting pulled into vampire politics, the arcane drug wars, and trying to get the hang of magic. Saving my own skin, much less anyone else's, is looking like a tall order now...

Being the Arcane lawman of the Bay isn't easy, but for the past six months it's been my job to make sure that San Francisco's monsters don't get out of line. But now, someone's been killing vampires, and magic is involved. Between murders and helping out a newly undead vampire, I'm in over my head. Like usual.
