An exiled vampire queen. A vegetable demigod. A magic Nintendo.

In the supernatural world, inter-species conflicts are handled through mediation to keep those conflicts from drawing the attention of the unsuspecting human population.

One such conflict is currently brewing in San Diego between an exiled vampire queen and the local demigod of nightmares, terror, and vindication. Unfortunately, someone just killed off the city’s designated mediator, and ordered hits on the purely mundane members of the profession.

The only person left to save San Diego is John Smith, who once had a Yellow Pages ad that read “Investigation, Mediation, Vindication”. It’s too bad John isn’t actually a mediator.

She needs his help.
He doesn’t trust her.
The battle of wills has begun.

“Thrilling, captivating, and altogether spellbinding!” (Reader review)
