synopsis
Max has become one of the highest-paid agents in the war to keep order on the city streets, whether that means facing down tentacled monsters or hunting down bands of mercenaries on the outskirts of Echo. Solving extravagant, impossible magical crimes using nothing but his wits and a handful of magical abilities is Max's stock in trade. And he loves it.
Some problems, however, are tougher to solve than others. When Echo is threatened by a new danger, it seems the only solution lies in the world Max has left behind: our world. It is really an answer, or is Max's old life trying to lure him away from Echo? If it does, will he ever be able to get back...?
