描述
It wasn't easy, but Emma Merrigan,librarian and curse-hunter, has finally gotten her life in order. Her mother's disappeared again, to Emma's great relief. Her stepfather's behaving himself. Her hair's back to its youthful color and, thanks to her nightly rounds in the Wasteland, she no longer has to worry about that mid-life "spread." A more paranoid woman might have gotten suspicious, but Emma isn't paranoid, at least not until she starts attracting attention from curse hunters as well as curses.
