Manhattan's nightlife just got weirder. . .It starts as a simple job -- but simple jobs, when you're dealing with this 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, and so she turns to some friends: a demon )minor), a mage who has lost her mind, and a few others -- including Sergei, her business partner (and maybe a bit more?)Sometimes what a woman ahs to do to get the job done is enough to give even Wren nightmares. . .
