Minimum Wage Magic: DFZ Book 1

Making a living is hard. In a lawless city where gods are real dragons are traffic hazards and buildings move around on their own it can feel downright impossible.Good thing freelance mage Opal Yong-ae has never let little things like impossibility stop her. Shes found a way to put her overpriced magical art history degree to use as a Cleaner: a contract municipal employee who empties out abandoned apartments and resells the unusual treasures she finds inside for a profit. Its not a pretty job or a safe one--theres a reason she wears bite-proof gloves--but when youre neck-deep in debt to a very magical very nasty individual you cant be picky about where the money comes from.But even Opals low standards are put to the test when the only thing of value in her latest apartment is the body of the previous tenant. Dealing with the dead isnt technically part of her job but this mage died hiding a secret that could be worth a lot of money and Opals the only one who knows. With debts she cant pay due at the end of the week this could be the big break shes been waiting for but in a city of runaway magic where getting in over your head generally means losing it the cost of chasing this opportunity might be more than Opal can survive.
