Making a living is hard. In a city without laws, where gods are real, where there are dragons, and buildings move on their own, this is completely impossible. It’s good that freelance magician Opal is not ready to let it be impossible to stop her. She found a way to put her degree in the history of magical arts to use as a Cleaner - a worker who empties abandoned buildings and sells the treasures from there for profit. The work is unpleasant and dangerous—that's why she wears gloves—but when you're up to your neck in debt in the wizarding world, you don't have much choice. But even Opal's low standards are tested when the only thing of value in her last apartment turns out to be the body of a previous tenant. She doesn't have to deal with the dead, but this magician died hiding a secret that could cost a lot of money, and only Opal knows about it. She can't pay her debt until the end of the week, and this might be the break she's been waiting for, but in this city of magic, you can get lost trying to grab this chance.
