About the Book

Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life at forty, living in a tiny house with his devious cat and old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he oversees children in government-sanctioned orphanages. His life changes when Extremely Upper Management gives him a curious and highly classified assignment: visit Marsyas Island Orphanage, home to six dangerous children—a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must determine if these children might bring about the end of days.

The children aren’t the only secret the island holds. Their caretaker, Arthur Parnassus, is charming, enigmatic, and willing to do anything to protect his wards. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets come to light, forcing Linus to choose between destroying a home or watching the world burn.
