The King's Leash (The Fay Morgan Chronicles book 7)
“The cards lay soft in my hands. Many of the edges were tattered. I ran my fingers across the deck, searching for the card that called to me. That would tell me about the day to come. For days I’d been pulling the five of cups: a depressed-looking card that foretold the likely excitement of a headache or backache.
I’d had both, perhaps from sleeping funny or from all the tedious work of airing out and organizing Morgan’s Ephemera. I’d been gone from my store for six months, and come back to find... two homeless girls and a handful of ghosts squatting here. I found proper housing for the girls and their haunts, and then set to the work of cleaning up the mess. The ghosts had left behind a miasmic funk that I was finding hard to get rid of.
