"Welcome to The Curiosity Shop. What brings you here today?"
The Curiosity Shop was exactly what it said on the tin. It was a small, unobtrusive shop tucked away in the outskirts of Vallus. Finding it in the spider web of streets was near impossible, as were the secrets it kept. Everyone knew it. Nobody's found it.
That was, until a girl called Lissa accidentally stumbled across it in a journey to find a new job. Unbeknown to her, she had just discovered a lot more then just some job experience.
