Together they’re magic.
Ever had life kick you in the teeth after it shoved you down the stairs?
Yeah, that’s how my day was heading.
And then I saw an ad in the paper that changed my life—Wanted: Vampire’s Assistant. Qualifications must include: loyalty, sturdiness, flexibility, dependability, fearlessness, intelligence, and please no applicants that are prone to temper or fits of terror.
Normally, I’d laugh at the absurd ad, but I emailed the prankster—Draven Leto, instead. People need jobs, Mr. Leto. Prank ads are not appreciated.
I wasn’t expecting to get a reply.

When they took my life, I thought I had nothing left to lose. I was a fool.

Despite everything, I found mercenary life fulfilling, until my guild was attacked. Now, I’ve got unknown, extremely rich enemies on all sides, a mysterious woman with strange magic and compound eyes, and a guild to save.
They brought their war to my home. It’s only fair I return the favor.
