The Unusual or things that go bump in the night are what Jackson Cornway trades in. Well, according to him its: Anything and everything that you can't buy on the Uk's open or black market. But, as long as there's money to be made or something expensive to steal, he's in. Just make sure he doesn't sweet talk you like he did that poor fellow on seventh street two days ago.
That was until his life got fucked by a psychic shapeshifter who seems to have a suspicious amount of information about him.
Note that:
There will be offensive language as our protag has no filter in his head.
I will try to update once every week but i make no promises. And that uploads will most likely be out of order so one chapter might reference something that happened in a past chapter but i haven't written that chapter yet.
I am not an expert when it comes to European mythology.
And that i am lazy as all hell.

It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.Complete
