You are Alistair the Unbound. Former prodigy. Fugitive of the High Council. Night shift security guard at a retirement home. All you want is a quiet life on Rankin Street.
But anonymity is hard work when you’re living on top of a ley line.

Your life is a delicate balancing act. By day, you dodge the prying eyes who suspect that you’re up to no good. By night, you patrol The Gilded Magnolias, using magic to fix the problems of the elderly—against the strict non-interference laws of the Council and worse... Corporate.

It was working perfectly. Until Tuesday.

Now your cover is blown, you’re being blackmailed by a pre-teen who wants magical lessons, and the ghost in your kitchen is criticizing your zoning choices. The Council is watching, the heat is rising, and you just want a nap.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
