Having worked his butt off at two jobs since he was sixteen, Taylor was finally able to invest to create his own company, and better yet, buy himself a small house. It had its kinks; needed some appliances, had a leaky water faucet, and what not, but it was his!
He soon comes to find out that there are a few extra bits and pieces he needs to work on in the home besides just the basics. There's a constant clinking sound at night that he can never manage to pinpoint... and a houseguest he wasn't anticipating.
Powerful deity Isla Develler is cursed and goes to the other side of the world for a solution, where she encounters more trouble than she imagined, among them a human who ignites her darkest desires and a mischievous god who seems to enjoy her struggles.
*****
Growing up in a powerful family of Opulents, beings with blood of both the gods and angels, Isla is the best candidate to be the next Opulent Empress. But being an Opulent means getting a Curse. Isla just got hers and it's a bad one.
Before her ambitious cousin finds out and ruin her chance to the throne, Isla is forced to go to the other side of the world, live in a dilapidated colonial house in the middle of a mystical forest that hides many secrets, and lead the incompetent Department of Lost Things where the temporary solution to her Curse is kept.
Things get a little tricky for Isla when she encounters a human teenage girl who lost her memories. But Jade is just one trouble Isla will face in East Isles: Across the forest, in a human village, lives Lucas, a powerless but famous human jazz singer with a flock of devout fangirls, and he fills Isla's nights with dark desires that may lead to her ruin. And within the forest is Avi, a mischievous and untrustworthy god, who seems to enjoy watching it.
As Isla and the peculiar team of the Department of Lost Things reluctantly help Jade find her family, while working on a case for a major goddess with a major attitude, they struggle with everything human and powerless, and other things more sinister that lives very close to home.
