## Book 1: The Floundry Affair
|
|

|
Phelan works in an herbal supply shop, counts coppers, and dreams about the house he can't afford to build. When a client arrives through the Guild of Necessary Services with a dying family member cursed by a working that every authority says is impossible to break, Phelan takes the case because the fee is significant and the problem is interesting.
