Summary
Charles was 16 when he ran away from home and found himself in the kitchen at Café Vivienne. Caught in the act of stealing a roll of bread, he expected to be arrested. Instead he found a home, a purpose, a family.
Of course, none of that lasted. Aunt Vivi—his beloved mentor—died six months ago, and now Charles’s livelihood is under threat when her estranged great nephew—and his former best friend—Edwin, returns to claim his inheritance.
It won’t be a happy reunion.
Crystal snorted. “What did the Lawyer from Hell want? Don’t tell me that prick’s causing problems again? What’s his name? Edward?”
“Edwin,” Charles corrected, the name rolling off his tongue automatically.
Crystal looked at him sharply, her gaze lingering. Charles kept his eyes fixed on the edge of the table. He could imagine what she was thinking, though she could only know the tiniest details. She didn’t know the full story. Even Aunt Vivi hadn’t known that.
“He’s coming here,” he said. “Apparently Aunt Vivi wanted him to stay here for a bit. So, he’s arriving today, though no one’s said anything about how long for, or what he’s planning on doing with the place. Guess I’ll have to ask him that myself when he shows up.”

Summary
“How about that one?” said Charles. He was pointing to a human-presenting figure with a fedora hat and a furry jacket. “David. Doesn’t sound like a criminal’s name.”
Edwin looked up at him from behind his lashes. “Should I remind you that we are also on this website?”
“Well, at least we don’t wear a fedora hat,” retorted Charles, and Edwin had to agree with that. If you had to be an outlaw, you could at least do it with a certain style.
Edwin tapped twice over the image to expand the details of the case. “They are offering one million tickets. Almost as good as me.”
“I swear sometimes you sound proud when you say that.”

In an ever expanding Universe enforcing law is tricky. The Human Intergalactic Organisation introduced a system of rewards to encourage everyone to do their part in finding criminals and bringing them to their planet for trial. This had the unintended consequence of creating the new career of the Bounty Hunter which, for its nature, became especially popular for those living outside of society, for whom other sources of outcome are unattainable.
This is their story.

Summary
To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.
But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.
Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.
