Old Fantasy

He came to bury a grandmother he barely knew. He found himself unearthing a war he never believed in. Alex Rivers, a cynical journalist whose career was built on debunking the very idea of the supernatural, arrives in the dust-choked, forgotten Texas border town of Hopewell with one goal: settle the affairs of his estranged grandmother, Ada, and get back to civilization. Ada was the family enigma, a reclusive herbalist whispered to be a "Hedge Witch," her isolated adobe house a testament to a life lived on the fringes of reality. Alex expects to find a few quirky antiques and a lot of dust....

When one of those young emigrants goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her.

Suddenly Offi is the leader of a band of lovable misfits and outcasts - from a gryphon who would literally kill for omelets to a young dwarf herbalist who is better with bees than with his cudgel to an assertive and cheerful teen witch with a beard as long as her book of curses.
