Zimanges

by M.C. Burnell

A group of roommates has been called upon to save their city, but forget the fact that they don't know how. These people have jobs, and those dishes won't do themselves.

Several thousand years ago, the first people on the continent disappeared to an individual. The humans, elves, and sebus who moved in since found something better than treasure in the ruins: a language that can make objects obey, their nature change. They call this power wizardry.

Jendaiar Phos is busy blowing up his life with the help of his estranged younger brother and fellow wizard Hecanthes. When they witness a mysterious magical event that draws the hostile eyes of the local authorities onto them, their fates are thrown together. The good news: the mother he hasn't seen since he was ten just left Jendaiar a house. The bad news: it's in Zimanges, the city in the clouds. A crossroads kingdom founded by a bandit.

The house turns out to be huge; they can't afford to keep it, heat it, and still eat. They're going to need some roommates, and Zimanges is full of people looking to start fresh. Their new friends include a troubled elven seer, a trainee-shaman who changes their face as the mood takes them, and a pile of leaves that's on a mission. A demon has found its way into their world, but none of them know what a demon IS, let alone how to get rid of the thing. It doesn't help that the scary king takes an interest in them as a wave of kidnappings sweeps the city.

It would be so much easier to cope with if the house were furnished.
