Fetch Phillips fought on the wrong side of a war between humans and magical creatures, and his actions helped to drain the world of enchantment. Now he works on the streets of Sunder City, taking what odd jobs he can while trying to help those whose lives he ruined. When a young siren disappears, Fetch finds out that this dark world still hides some monsters - and he'd better clean up his act before they come into the light. A brilliant contemporary fantasy for fans of Terry Pratchett.
