A LIBRARY CAN BE A DANGEROUS PLACE

After almost 40 years, Hester “Auntie Oddity” Habbakuk is still sole curator of the supernatural Giangascone Compendium, an arcane collection of magical books and occult artifacts housed in a sublevel of the Aulusgelius Foundation. She hears hidden voices, talks to ghosts, and prevents leakage from the treacherous dark materials. For Auntie, the Compendium is her second home. But new supervisor Tamsen Jancy and sorcerous patron Lucervei Luc see the under utilized treasure trove of valuable documents and objects as profit and power. Only after they’ve crossed the line do they realize they overlooked something. The most dangerous item in the collection is Auntie Oddity.
