The Wizards Brew

“The Wizard’s Brew is a thrilling, hardboiled take on the fantasy genre. Jordan Reed knows how to spin an action-packed tale of intrigue and suspense that will keep you guessing until the very end.” — Daniel K Miller, Texas Institute of Letters award-winner and author of Locke and Key

“Hits the ground running and pulls you into a gas-lit world of magic and mystery. ... keeps you guessing right up to the end.” — Ryan McSwain, author of Four Color Bleed

Ghoul War veteran Zane Vrexon is struggling to make ends meet as a private detective when he gets a cryptic note from an old friend, Dennis, who says his new wife is in danger.

Then Dennis turns up dead in his own potion shop and his widow, Vana, is the main suspect. Zane has enough problems — including an addiction to healing elixir and a voice in his head with nothing but bad ideas — but he agrees to investigate with help from Dennis’s gnome assistant and a professor from The Institute.

But as they dig into the mysterious death, Zane and company find that Dennis had ties to the goblin mob and Vana is being hunted by a being thought either mythical or long extinct.

And now they’re in the crosshairs with her.
