Honor Bound — Al K. Line

Without honor, a wizard's nothing but a scruffy man with a stick in his pocket. But honor comes at a price, and I sure as hell paid it.

What started as a favor for a vampire-the kind of favor you can't refuse-quickly turned into something epic and life-changing. A team was organized, and we set about performing the largest heist in magical history. Unsurprisingly, things didn't go swimmingly.

Even as plans unraveled, and the death count rose, I was unprepared for the depths of treachery and the repercussions for what I'd done.

If that wasn't enough, Death was acting weird, I was having a very bad hair day, and my sex life, or usual lack of, got very complicated, very quickly.

Still, my honor remained intact, just not a lot else.

Hi, I'm Arthur "The Hat" Salzman. Gangster. Wizard. Not amused.
