Tricks and Treats

Xiara Evora's job as the Guardian of Nox is more complex than she'd ever anticipated. Not that she'd applied for the role. Her backstory is to blame, so she brought this on herself. She'd decided she was a hunter of monsters and bad guys and it had become her entire existence. Nox, otherwise known as the City of Night, is a hodgepodge of human magic users, vampires, shifters, fae beings and various other types of monsters. None of them get along well, which is why the city is divided into five different Districts. Xiara patrols them all in her effort to keep the peace, except for the Demon District that lies in the catacombs beneath Nox. Only someone with a death wish would enter their domain without an invitation. When a new type of being enters Nox, things soon begin to change. Although there are a lot of Night Cursed deities, they aren't real. They're just pale imitations and they have little power. Xiara has a feeling that the minor god is going to become far more of a pest than he first appears. The delicate balance between the Districts is already unstable. The last thing the City of Night needs is for a trickster to shake things up. If he breaks too many laws, the Immortal Triumvirate will order her to use her trusty staff to end his existence. Not even a true deity can survive Wrath's deathly power.
