Andrew Ranulf Blankenship is a modern magus, a wizard whose ability to speak to the dead through video earns him a good living, as well as the respect of others who trade in the currency of the occult. He is handsome, funny and stylish, if a bit haunted. Andrew is a recovering alcoholic with ten years sober, a loose demon in a cave, and a hopeless crush on a lesbian protégée.

If you have business with him, don’t bother wandering his rural New York town of Dog Neck Harbor…Even if you find his winding street on Lake Ontario, you’ll never see his house unless he wants you to. You’ll never flag him down if he roars past you in his classic Mustang. You wouldn’t like his survivalist neighbor. And his lover, a Rusalka (think wicked Russian mermaid) just might invite you to a moonlight drowning in the lake. If you’re particularly unlucky, you could come knocking the summer this story takes place. You see, Baba Yaga herself is looking to settle a blood debt with Mr. Blankenship, and Frost and Death are coming with her.
