Silas is a wizard, a master of the eight disciplines, with a brain filled with esoteric knowledge and over half a century of adventuring under his belt. Bundersnoot is his cat, perpetually hungry even though he’s just been fed. Together, they run a quaint shop in the city, where the good folk of Elade-voc come searching for magical solutions to life’s little hiccups. But every now and then, somebody comes to them with a serious problem, one only a semi-retired wizard—and his feline familiar—can solve. If your sister has been bitten by a werewolf or your baby’s been stolen by the Fae, Silas and Bundersnoot may be your only hope.

A cozy novella about a wizard and his cat as they tackle the magical intrigues that find their way to their doorstep. Days will be saved, villains will be foiled, and perhaps, most shockingly of all, Bundersnoot will miss a meal. But that's just a potential danger of the job.

Silas has a problem. Well, as a wizard Silas has dealt with many problems, the most persistent being his cat Bundersnoot’s perpetual demands to be fed. Of more immediate concern is the wound he received from fighting a vampire last summer. Silas doesn’t know if he’s at risk of turning into a vampire, or even how much time he’s got, but the festering black wound on his arm certainly isn’t healing and he’s got no time to waste.

Silas and Bundersnoot will have to hit the road to find answers, leaving their cozy home in Elade-voc behind. Following along is their new companion Waif, a child of indeterminate gender who they rescued from the clutches of an evil cult. Now is not the best time to become a caretaker, but the gods never saw fit to make Silas’s life easy. Their quest will take them from the Braelor Mountains to the plains of Losanti in a race against time. Across Amastica is a novel filled with fantasy adventure, found family, and just a dose of silly.
