    Ynes has enough on her hands living in a house packed with magical creatures. But her gadgets and witch's potions are enough to get her by--until she's caught by surprise without them when she needs them most.

      Chapter one

      A cool breeze blew in from the river, making Ynes shiver. She both loved and dread the coming holiday season. It was when she made most of her money, but it also meant long days in the cold outside.

      Thanks for helping me set up for the market today, Ynes said to her boyfriend Max as they unloaded boxes off her truck onto her dolly. Are you sure you can’t stay and help?

      Max laughed and swept her into a kiss. I wish I could, he said when they broke apart. The wind had tousled his dark brown hair and brought out the color in his pale cheeks.

      I know, you have to work today, she said with manufactured ire. Figured both him and her other boyfriend, Brandon, both had things to do on the same weekend, leaving her alone for the first day of holiday shopping.

      Her familiar, Barnabas the squirrel, ran up chittering at her, and then climbed her dress to perch on her shoulder. Ynes, it’s going to rain!

      Ynes translated for Max, since he couldn’t understand her familiar, Barnabas said it’s about to rain. Can you cast a rain-off spell on my boxes, before they get soaked?

      Max was a mage, someone with innate magic able to cast spells on the fly with no preparation. Unlike a witch like her who relied on using spellbooks and potions to pull magic from the world around them. She didn’t have a waterproofing spell in her spellbook, since her family specialized in artifact magic.

      A moment later the rain that Barnabas had warned about began to fall.

      Not a good idea. I still haven’t mastered anything that isn’t transformation magic, Max said, flipping up his hood with a shrug. But at least now I almost always get what what I intend.

      Max’s magic was mostly driven by his subconscious, meaning he tended to get unexpected results, but she thought he’d be farther along than this after a year of having lessons with his biological father.

      Alright, you pull the cart and I’ll try to keep it dry. She pulled out her multi-tool. The size of a thick Swiss Army knife, she’d added her own special magical flourishes.

      Using rune spells, she’d enchanted an oversized umbrella to compact down into the space where a knife would have normally gone. A muttered control word
