When Leo started college, all he wanted was to be just another ordinary student. During the years he would spend at Mythos, he wouldn’t be a dragon god, a prince, or even his parents’ son. Living and studying there, he would have the chance to be the kind of person who goes to parties after classes, makes friends with classmates, and maybe even asks a girl out. The kind of person—student—whose biggest worries are bad grades, getting turned down by a cute girl, and boring or unlikeable teachers. He should have known things wouldn’t be that simple.

Ist das Leben nicht merkwürdig? Meins schon. Hin und wieder zumindest. Also ... in letzter Zeit sogar recht häufig. Fast immer, kann man sagen.

Estos cuentos poseen una familiaridad con lo inaudito. Se mueven en espacios intersticiales, en los pliegues de la realidad donde ocurre lo insólito. Sus personajes habitan justo allí, en las fisuras, en los lugares inquietantes que brotan bajo nuestra cotidianidad, en mundos luminosos y oscuros, nunca lineales. Solamente quien ya fue al inframundo y regresó, hablando otro idioma, puede servirnos de guía por esas regiones tenues, traducir para nosotros lo que dicen las grietas.

It started on the last day of high school, a day Diana Hansen had been anticipating for the last 12 years. Now, her real life could begin. For Diana, like her sister Claire, was a Keeper - gifted with the ability to reweave the possibilities of time and space to maintain the balance between Light and Darkness. What neither Diana nor Sam - formerly an angel, now a cat - could have anticipated was that her first Summons as an active Keeper would be to a shopping mall! But a quick trip to the Erlking's Emporium, a gift shop in a Kingston mall, confirmed Diana's worst suspicions.

Claire Hansen was a Keeper, gifted - or cursed - with the job of being one of Earth's Guardians, "summoned" to areas where anomalies existed, where rifts had opened - or had been opened. Such places were the world's danger spots where, if they weren't sealed in time, all the minions of hell might break through. After she'd closed the portal into hell at the Elysian Fields Guest House, Claire and her talking cat, Austin, found they'd acquired a new companion - Dean.

I start my new life by joining the Magiford supernatural task force, which exists to protect humans and supernaturals from harmful magic.
