#2 Hedge Mage and Medicine
Open Fracture
A hedge mage with a tie to a vampire elder. What could go wrong? Nearing the end of my ER training, I should be spending my days getting ready for my first real job. Instead, now that I know I’m a hedge mage, I study magic, trying to figure out how I can use it and whether I have a specific talent. When one of my new magical friends comes to me for help with a murder, somehow I have the connections necessary to figure out what happened—and why they were killed. Solving the mystery brings me deeper into the magical world, but is that what I want? When someone close to me nearly dies, my knowledge of medicine isn’t enough and I have no choice but to chase the magic in me. If I can discover my talent in time, I might be able to survive what’s coming—and stop another from gaining power no mage is meant to possess.
