Without honor, a wizard's nothing but a scruffy man with a stick in his pocket. But honor comes at a price, and I sure as hell paid it.
What started as a favor for a vampire—the kind of favor you can't refuse—quickly turned into something epic and life-changing. A team was organized, and we set about performing the largest heist in magical history. Unsurprisingly, things didn't go swimmingly.
Even as plans unraveled, and the death count rose, I was unprepared for the depths of treachery and the repercussions for what I'd done.
If that wasn't enough, Death was acting weird, I was having a very bad hair day, and my sex life, or usual lack of, got very complicated, very quickly.
Still, my honor remained intact, just not a lot else.
