Welcome, Old Friends and New Recruits

If you know why you’re here and what’s going on, head on in. Grab a bean bag from Jonesy, a cookie from Stef and a glare from Taylor.

If you’re new - either you were gifted this ebook, or someone threw it at you with the vague-but-insistent command to “just read it!”, then here’s a bit of an introduction.

This is a short story in the world of Ash & Blue, a nerdy urban fantasy series, mostly focussed on a group that could be best described as the Men in Black, but for magical stuff.

Some of these shorts work okay as standalone contemporary fantasy stories - but most rely on at least some context from the main series. Luckily, you can start reading the series for free at AshandBlue.com - and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Well, most of us do, Taylor’s just going to glare at you regardless.
