I'm Leo St. James, a 25-year-old private investigator with a rather unusual family dynamic. I live at home with my mother, who is part witch and part faery, my human dad, and my ghostly grandmother. She tries to teach me magic. Why do I still live at home? Money, it's always about money. I still haven't been able to save enough to live independently, which forces me to stick around home. Still, living at home isn't so bad because the mansion is large, and I have my own apartment.

My life takes a wild turn when Phoenix Armstrong, a powerful wizard, asks me to help solve a murder. He predicts his own demise, and by hiring me, he's dragging me into a realm of dark magic and unexpected twists.

Along for the ride is my buddy, Daniel, a librarian and human, but he's so much more than that. Sometimes, I wonder about him because he knows the supernatural world better than I do. He hears all the gossip that's going on at the library because it's not only humans who read books. Faeries, witches, wizards, and even vampires visit the library regularly.

As I dig deeper, I face betrayal, uncover shady family secrets, and learn more about my protective grandfather, especially as faeries tend to be pretty fierce. A birthday party leads to meeting some intriguing characters, like Raven, a redeemed warlock, and even Lucifer, the family friend who's the Prince of Hell.

Throughout this supernatural adventure, trust and loyalty are tested, and I discover that family secrets might just tear us apart. Plus, there's this mysterious Mage everyone seems to avoid talking about—what's that all about?
