Mulberry Wands

Susan never expected to find a corpse in her backyard, especially not one no larger than a doll. Her well-intentioned burial and investigation attracts the notice of the victim’s kin. They think she murdered him, and they want vengeance.

Griff just wants a little more money. When his friend’s squirrelly cousin offers him a side job selling magic wands, he feels his luck is finally starting to change. But there's something strange about the beautiful girl he just met, something not quite human.

Paul is a human member of the Sunwards. When its parliament orders him to investigate a mage, he doesn't realize his feelings for Susan will test his loyalty to the society he pledged his life to.
