    Yeah, I'm a treasure hunter. No, I'm not rich. Or busy. Or successful. 
     
     
     
    Not yet. 
     
     
     
    I'm doing my very best at making a living in my newfound career. I've got magic, a pair of brownie sidekicks, and enough ambition to fill every chilly corner of Edinburgh castle. 
     
     
     
    What I don't have is any actual treasure to hunt. 
     
     
     
    However, when a young girl asks me for help, I end up embroiled in a deeply dangerous search for an ancient magical artifact. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who wants to find it. Between fire-breathing dragons, vicious vampires, and lethally powerful fiends, I've got my work cut out for me if I'm going to locate the treasure first. 
     
     
     
    At least this time I've got help. Hugo Pemberville might be as provocative as ever but he has also attached himself to my side. Sure, I've got a few teeny tiny problems of my own to deal with—but I've got everything under control. 
     
     
     
    Sort of.
