There's a sort of narrative to certain kinds of magic, a set of obscure and often inexplicable rules that make magical answers more tricky than they may seem. Those who go to spells and hexes for solutions often discover that what they ask for is entirely different from what they get—and perhaps what they ultimately needed all along. Killian, a genderfluid merperson, discovers this fact firsthand when an internship with a swamp witch leads to unexpected responsibilities. When someone shows up with big dreams and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve them, Killian will find that the consequences of magic can be very unexpected, indeed.
