    Summary

    Bag of Tricks Books is one of Port Townsend's best kept secrets. It's located on the ground floor of a two-story red brick building, on one corner of a crossroads at the southern edge of town. It shares a wall with a newly-opened tattoo parlor, and shares its intersection with a florist, a bed and breakfast, a new age store, and a butcher shop that gets steady business regardless of the sign claiming that it's been closed for renovations for nearly nine months now.

    Summary

    Niko Sasaki saves her friends, Crystal and Edwin and Charles. Niko Sasaki gives kindness to a lonely man who made a choice he now regrets, listens to his story when no one else will. Niko Sasaki spares the sprites who’d wanted nothing other than to kill her. Niko Sasaki puts good out into the world—and the good she does comes back around to greet her and carries her off, takes her elsewhere and nowhere and everywhere and between, and gives her a second life that is nearly Endless, compared to the first.

    Summary

    Charles is pretty sure he is in love with Edwin but wants to be extra sure, so he makes a love potion to find out.

    The potion backfires and turns into a curse, which makes Charles feel ill and in pain, and only a person who is in love with him can break it.

    Summary

    “You want me to do what?” Jenny asks. She stares at Crystal and Niko and Edwin and Charles, four teenagers who do the dumbest things, and maybe save a few lives—or afterlives—in the meantime. Jenny never knows what to think, when it comes to the four of them. (Certainly not pride. Certainly not.)

    Summary

    Witches Charles’ age were supposed to have familiars by now.

    Most English sorcerers had found their life-long by the time they turned 16, but Charles was pushing 24 and still hadn’t found the right fit.

    “Must be a shit witch if you can’t even get a familiar to stick around,” his father had said when Charles had turned 18.

    His dad was a dick, but he was right. Charles was a shit witch.

    Summary

    In this tiny lost park in London, at these picnic tables hidden between the trees, there’s a boy sat with a piece of paper in front of him, agonizing over the words he’s putting to the page. The boy is dead, but that doesn’t matter. He’s got something he wants to say, words that are bursting to come out of him. Calliope can tell. She can always tell.

    Summary

    The cat in the center of the room has a good weight to it, unlike many of the street cats that fill the edges. His fur is gray, nearly a blue-gray, short and clean. The eyes that stare at the three of them are practically orange in color. Just like with the Cat King in Port Townsend, there's a flash of light—orange this time—and then a man stands before them instead of a cat.

    He doesn't look anything like the Cat King Charles has already met, but there are certain aspects that seem like they could be familiar, though he can't quite put his finger on which ones. The eyes, certainly. The build, maybe. London’s Cat King isn’t so fashionable, so to speak, content with a leather jacket and jeans, but he holds himself the same way. Imperious. Demanding. Regal.

    Like a cat.

    Summary

    “You and Edwin touched the sand and then you just fell over and turned into little light orbs!” Niko explained. Her dangling earrings shaped like little bears shuddered with the movement of her head. “Then this scary man in black showed up and said something like, ‘Ghosts shouldn’t meddle in that which they don’t understand.’ Then he brought us here and introduced us to Mr. Hob!”

    “You can just call me Hob,” the adult man (Hob, apparently) said, pressing a mug of tea into Charles’ hands.

    Charles was so confused and overwhelmed that he took the tea.

    Summary

    “What about this one?” Charles asked, holding up a frog.

    “No,” Edwin asked without looking over at the brandished amphibian.

    “You didn’t even look, mate,” Charles complained.

    “If it were the right frog, Charles, you would already know it!” Edwin replied testily.
