[BOOK 2|READ ATELO FIRST] Dewey Price has always avoided people in general, cursed with an abnormality that makes being around others far from enjoyable. His life was relatively boring, days essentially full of the same thing. Famous mother aside, he's always been a relatively average person. That is, until the king of the Westhem comes knocking at his door, accompanied by someone that raises more than a few questions upon their first meeting. Now tasked with locating someone that there is hardly any information on, Dew's semi average life gets thrown into a mix of wars, mythical creatures, and government secrets. His already loose grip on his sanity threatens to disappear altogether. The fact the Captain Rowan Lux has a nasty habit of consistently taking up all of Dew's attention doesn't help, either.
