Handlers of the Wondrous and Strange: Volume 1 of the Books of Veer and Magic

When the rumors about them began, many felt that veer and naadaturges only lived in fairy tales. Those timeworn stories of strange plants and animals, of those who practiced magic? Only idiots believed the tales were real.Maximilian Wealdham believed. And every day brought more and more proof.Ten years later, almost everyone believes. But unfortunately, the Assembly still hasn’t officially acknowledged the return of veer or magic, and it hasn’t reinstated the Magic Department.Thankfully, Maximilian’s company is named official investigators of veer and magic incidents, and so they deal with such in and around the city, even occasionally assisting the police. Max feels a national government agency is critical to tackling the increasing veer and magic problems, however, so he continues to wrangle with the Assembly to bring back the Magic Department. But unknown to him, there is a centuries-old, shadowy organization that works to stall its reinstatement at every turn.Meanwhile, strange happenings all over town, as well as reports of missing people, eventually lead Max and his handlers to a highly perilous encounter whose outcome just might help with the Magic Department issue . . . or kill him.In HANDLERS OF THE WONDROUS AND STRANGE, author Adolfo Garza Jr takes readers to a world where swords and magic exist along with newly-invented technologies like telephones and automobiles, all as a backdrop behind tales of struggle, growth, and conflict.
