Steve Aderson is just an average guy. He's not having a happy life working in a call center, toiling away during the day and doing some resale work on the side at night.
The income from resale barely covers the costs, until Steve finds himself on a foggy bridge doing business with a strange elf who talks about magic and fairy gold. Steve walks away with a fat check, a big bonus, and a reputation as someone who can deal with people outside of our normal world.
If he survives the risk, the reward will surely be worth more than the fleeting fairy gold. And if he survives, how can he survive unchanged?
