From treasure-hunting contracts to the barters you make for spellwork at the night market, one has to be careful and purposeful in dealing with fae. It also behooves you to check the substitutions you use in a spell, especially if it's your first cast as a witch, and make sure every item you purchase secondhand doesn't come with a curse.
Each of these fantasy short stories explores the give-and-take between the fantastical and the not, and while sometimes the outcome is positive that might not always be the case.
Collecting a combination of previously published and new short stories by Gwen Tolios, this collection is a perfect escape.
