Unusually high sales figures and the stench of sex magic at a shop called The Ace of Wands draw the attention of paranormal investigator Nicholas Pardoner and his Vampire sidekick Alex. Dark forces are at work, but is the sex magic the only reason Nick is seeing Alex as a different sort of partner, or is Alex working a little sex magic of his own?
Nicholas and Alex debuted in Morgan Ferdinand's Everyday Spectre, The Pardoner's Tale.

Stakeouts are the most boring part of a private investigator's job. It's worse when you're a paranormal private investigator, since most of what you're looking for probably doesn't even exist. You wouldn't believe how many people have hired me to look for ghosts or poltergeists, and then been disappointed when I told them it was just air in their plumbing making those clanking and moaning sounds, or it was their very alive, very corporeal, teenage son stealing their shit.
Don't misunderstand me. Ghosts and poltergeists are real. Demons are real. They're just not as common as some people want to believe. Out of the twenty hauntings I've investigated in the past year, only three have been anything supernatural.
Vampires are also real. Forget what the movies tell you, though. They're not all suave and sexy and continental. Take my partner (please!), Alex Finch. Alex is best described as "lanky." He's a little too tall to be "scrawny." He's also loud, clumsy, and has terrible fashion sense.
Not that mine is exactly G.Q., but that just means I know what I'm talking about.
Anyhow. Vampires. Real.
Werewolves are also real. My name is Nicholas Pardoner, and I'm a Were. I'm also a private investigator who deals with the paranormal. It's a sideline to my actual job as an antiques dealer. You wouldn't believe the antiques that you can collect when you tell someone that something is haunted.
And stakeouts are usually boring.
I just wish they'd stay boring. I hate when they get interesting.
