    Summary

    Jonathan Sims never truly meant to work directly with the supernatural. Fresh out of academia and more comfortable among dusty journals than people, he applies for a research position at the enigmatic Magnus Institute. It's supposed to be simple: analyse statements, trace their folklore roots, maybe publish something no one reads.

    But nothing about the Institute is simple. The cases are strange. And Elias Bouchard, Head of the Magnus Institute, takes an unusual interest in him from the moment they meet.

    or,
    Jonah Magnus lost Jonathan Fanshawe once. He doesn’t intend to make the same mistake again.

    Summary

    “Sorry,” Jon said again. “I think I — I need to go. I can’t be here.”
    On the other side of the mahogany desk, Elias Bouchard sighed.
    “I truly hoped we could be civil about this, Jonathan.”

    (In his dreams, Jon’s hands are soaked in blood, and he stares into the pupil of an endless sea of eyes.)

    If they told you: be sensible with your new love. Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll find.
