description
<p> August Samuel Hatch was born under an inauspicious pattern of stars. It's granted him what is widely considered the most unlucky of inconveniences: becoming host to a powerful but pernicious spirit that will act as his guide and protector. Sairne is assigned as August's guardian and sworn to stand by his side and, when the fancy strikes her, advise him, all in the service of atoning for a past life she can't remember having committed a grave enough sin to earn her soul indentureship in the mortal realm. But unlike other guardians who serve their wards and ascend at their sides, she is fated to one day take August's life. </p> <p> They've spent their lives attempting to ignore the celestial laws that dictate their fates, because while the world at large sees Sairne as a terrifying reminder of power, August doesn't bother seeing her as anything but who she's always been to him: a partner through and through. </p> <p> Serving as petty detectives for the City Patrol, they spend their days either escorting VIPs, sorting through small-time crime, or directing traffic, but when the disappearance of a close friend goes unnoticed and ignored by the very authorities they work for, Sairne and August break some rules in order to get to the bottom of the mystery, discovering along the way a dark conspiracy that could transmute the very magic that binds them to their fates, and giving them the ultimate choice: do they save the city or save themselves? </p> <p> Cross-posted on Wattpad. For fans of fantasy YA story beats if they starred adults instead. Complete but being actively edited prior to posting! I'm the only captain on this ship, so mind any errors. </p>
