It was an accident.
Alice Appleton had one skill in the magical community, creating shields. Her shields keep the shadow creatures, monsters with a taste for magic infused blood, away. Despite its usefulness, she is viewed as one of the lesser trades, her skills called to a job site after plumbing and wiring was done, but before insulation and drywall. Although paid very well, she is not one of the hidden magical community’s powerhouses. She is not of the elite and not in charge of anything. While she disagrees with some of the restrictions placed upon her by the Commission, she has no intention of challenging the status quo.
All that changes when she ends up buying The Ravenwood Arms Apartment building. Her simple decision to create shields for her apartments before renting them out tilts her world in unexpected ways and creates a havoc she never intended. Suddenly she is thrust out of obscurity and into the middle of a growing social and economic debate. Sure she gets to spend time with the attractive contractor she’s had a crush on for years, but is one mid-range apartment really worth this much trouble?
