Listen up, folks. It's me, Val Thorvald, and my job? Well, let's just say I'm not your average office worker. I'm an assassin, taking care of those magical bad guys who love nothing more than hurting innocent people. And let me tell you, I take care of them permanently.
Now, being in this line of work doesn't exactly make me popular with the magical community. I've had more break-ins and assassination attempts than I can count. But hey, thanks to my half-elven blood, my trusty sword Chopper, and my telepathic tiger with an attitude, I've always managed to handle these problems with a touch of class. Okay, maybe a little cursing and swearing too, just to spice things up a bit.
But let me tell you, things take a turn for the worse when my boss falls ill with a mysterious disease. As if that's not enough, a nosy government agent starts poking around, and just when I thought things couldn't get any more complicated, a godforsaken dragon decides to crash my latest job.
Now, I've dealt with vampires, zombies, and ogres in my time, but dragons? They're a whole different league. These creatures are powerful, my friends, and this particular dragon doesn't seem too fond of me. In fact, he wants to use his magic to control me like some sort of weak-minded minion. Well, sorry to burst his fire-breathing bubble, but that's not going to fly. I'd rather die than be a dragon's slave. Simple as that.
But here's the thing, if I don't figure out a way to dodge this dragon, save my boss, and shake off that annoying government spook, well, let's just say things aren't going to end well for ol' Val here. I could be screwed, dead, or even worse, screwed and dead. And trust me, that's not a comfortable situation to be in.
So, my friends, if you're up for some thrilling action, grab a copy of "Sinister Magic" today. And hey, even if you're not particularly invested in my survival, I can promise you one thing – the tiger in this story is seriously cool.
