But it’s not something that can be given back: Power. Magical Power. Kevin was given the last vial in existence of a Magical solution. More like it smashed into him. There’s just one problem: he’s human. Humans aren’t supposed to know about the Magical world. Why’s that? Because humans can’t do Magic. Period. Oh, don’t get the wrong idea; Earth knows about Magic. But only in the form of stories. Kevin is about to be rudely introduced to it, and in a painful way. He will also learn that Earth isn’t alone, but Earth will never find out. There is a whole galaxy out there with other worlds that use Magic to travel. Though the worlds are inhabited by those creatures we read about in stories. Such as Werewolves, Vampires, Beasts, Changelings, Fairies, and even Goblins to name a few. But some are still on Earth, if you look hard enough. Though as a human, you might not want to do that. There’s no such thing as spaceships going across the stars. It’s all done by Magical means as Kevin is about to find out. His new trainer, Marrisa, is a no-nonsense kind of gal, with ears and a tail, who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Except, she is about to find that Kevin doesn’t take kindly to her attitude. But it seems that bounty hunters all have chips on their shoulders, and Marrisa’s chip is the size of a barn. Can they work together, or will Kevin have to ditch her and find someone else to train him? No one wants to work with Marrisa, but her bosses are telling her that Kevin’s her problem now. Join the pair as they try to figure out how not to kill each other. And watch the sparks fly between them, especially when a fellow female bounty hunter has a thing for Kevin!
