Publisher Description
In a world that's lost its magic, a former soldier turned PI solves cases for the fantasy creatures whose lives he ruined in an imaginative debut fantasy by Black Sails actor Luke Arnold.
Welcome to Sunder City. The magic is gone but the monsters remain.
I'm Fetch Phillips, just like it says on the window. There are a few things you should know before you hire me:
1. Sobriety costs extra.
2. My services are confidential.
3. I don't work for humans.
It's nothing personal--I'm human myself. But after what happened, to the magic, it's not the humans who need my help.
Walk the streets of Sunder City and meet Fetch, his magical clients, and a darkly imagined world perfect for readers of Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.

"A richly imagined world...Winningly combining the grit of Chinatown with the quirky charm of Harry Potter, this series opener is sure to have readers coming back for more." ―Publishers Weekly

So much fun!
Loved it. The author has an obsession with similes and metaphors but they are so well done it never feels like overkill. The story is original and intriguing and the main character is rich and relatable.
Keep ‘em coming!
Maltese Falcon cross bred with Game of Thrones
Found this author on Tiktok and fell in love with his voice. This book has been the most amazing find. Can’t wait to follow Fetch down another dark alley.
