When Alaric is given the order to leave the country, he returns to the city of his youth, Verge, where he left everyone behind some four years ago. Set in a fantastical world on the cusp of modernization, old prejudges die hard even when out-paced by the technological advances made possible by Glow, a newly refined magic.What follows are the first steps on the road to discovering he's not the only one keeping secrets. Reunited with his childhood best friend, Dostapher "Toast" Clay, he joins the animal preservation effort at Bedlam Labs as head of security, a pet project of the megacorporation Mage Industries. There's more at stake than his job while he finds old relationships renewed, his past haunting him, and every bit of training and resolve put to the test every time he plays hooky.Remaining faithful to allies proves difficult when Alaric can't tell who they are.Blending realistic fantasy with fantastic science, Starting Over: Bitter Luck is the first in a series focusing on balancing work and personal life while trying to save the world through conservation efforts and stopping great evil.
