Synopsis: ● "I'm a scriven, by trade. A broker. An intermediary. A middle-man. I make deals. It can be a hard life, but it has its perks. I like helping people...for a price. So, when the granddaughter of a notorious gangland boss goes missing, of course, he turned to me to find her. I could have said no. I could have walked away. What could possibly go wrong? Vampires, Vampire hunters. Gargoyles. Lovecraftian fish-people. A massive mutant dog. A whole host of small leprous leprechauns. Magic of all stripes & flavors. And, let us not forget, the foretold ascension of the animus messiah. Oh yeah, and there was some demonic torture." ― paraphrased from this book's Amazon product page as of 2021-08-06.
