It starts as a simple job — but simple jobs, when you're
dealing with the magical world, often end up anything but.
As a Retriever, Wren Valere specializes in finding things
gone missing — and then bringing them back, no questions
asked. Normally her job is stimulating, challenging and
only a little bit dangerous. But every once in a while...
Case in point: A cornerstone containing a spell is stolen
and there's a magical complication. (Isn't there always?)
Wren's unique abilities aren't enough to lay this
particular case to rest, so she turns to some friends: a
demon (minor), a mage who has lost his mind, and a few
others, including Sergei, her business partner (and maybe
a bit more?).
Sometimes what a woman has to do to get the job done is
enough to give even Wren nightmares....
