Welcome to the Department of Dangerous Things…
“Out of her left eye, she cried tears of joy for her new love, and out of her right eye, tears of sorrow.”
In a distant realm, a reckless young prodigy plumbs the depths of lost magic and dreams of restoring her family's honor by resurrecting the forbidden art of Mythblade forging. Her plan is unthinkable, her will, unstoppable. Her name is Lorelei.
Meanwhile, back on earth, a smart-mouth teen gets a second chance at life as the caretaker of a dangerous magical storehouse. A storehouse whose most dangerous artifact happens to be the key to mythblade forging. His name is Sam.
When Sam and Lorelei's worlds collide, will they be enemies or friends? When their dreams unleash an ancient danger, will they fall with their predecessor or rise as heroes to face it?
In Mythblade, the first installment of The Department of Dangerous Things, unlikely friends pass through danger and love to save the world from the unintended magical consequences of their teenage hubris. There will be vows, honor, betrayal, love, swordplay, and heartbreak, but the real adventure is to endure, and one day find a home in each other.
