Hey, all you cool cats and vampires, I'm witch and bounty hunter Sylvie Orion. Or at least, I was. Who and what I am seems to be up for debate these days. I mean, other than the fact I'm now the world's most wanted witch. (The reward is buy-your-own-island money. I even want to turn myself in) Currently, I'm missing my soul and all the magic that comes with it. For extra athame-in- the-eye fun, I'm being held prisoner by Shifter Nation. Whoa Goddess, do they have plans for me. Plans no sane witch would ever agree to be a part of. I never wanted to start a war. I just wanted to live a quiet, witchy life. But my soul has its own destiny, and if I don't get it back, I'll have no say in what happens next. Hold on to your wands, beyotches, because this witch never says die. "Motherducking Witches is a highly unexpected and brilliantly exciting continuation of this fun and amazing series. It allows us to take a deeper look into this beautifully complex storyline that has wrapped itself around my heart and won't let go." "This is such a fun, action-filled story with interesting characters. Sylvie Orion, a bounty hunter witch with very limited magic, is in the fight of her life to get back her stolen soul. I really like Sylvie and how she cleverly makes up for her weak magic as she battles stronger paranormal creatures. Another terrific story in the Bad Magic Bounty Hunter series. Can't wait to see what happens next!"

So when he is approached by Zanabar, a mysterious sorcerer who asks him for help retrieving a genie lamp from 1924 before it falls into the wrong hands, Frankie accepts.
