Lem is a little lower down the ladder than that, bleeding nobody but himself, skating by on small Cantrips, cons, and charms. Lately though, his days have taken a strange turn, always the same and yet minutely different. Since hooking up with this group that wants to utilize his uncanny ability to write and alter spells for their Big Heist, Lems constantly feeling like hes forgetting something, like something is calling to him from the beyond. Perhaps most bizarre of all, his best friend Mags is nowhere to be foundand the police seem to want to help Lem locate him. The po-po being helpful to a Trickster like him? Now he knows something is up. This ebook also contains an excerpt of We Are Not Good People.
