All The Things You Have To Burn (Grey Corp Book 1)

It's not that William didn't know Grey Corp were the bad guys when he took a job there, it's just that when there's a lifetime of law abiding monotony staring you in the face, being a bad guy doesn't seem all, well, bad. And William is hardly a stranger to doing whatever needs to be done to get by. Only difference now is that, thanks to being trained in Grey Corp’s exclusive magic, he’s better at it than he ever was. Way better. Turns out William has a real knack for magic and an even realer knack for tuning out his conscience. He's Grey Corp's rising star, and he loves it. Ok, sure, his mentor is way too sarcastic and she really hates him. And the Lovecraftian monster chained up in the entrance room is a little unsettling. And William would probably he happier if grey Corp's resident psychopath, Caspien Jones, would stop trying to kill and/or maim him. No one's saying that being an employee at Grey Corp is all roses, but William could've make a real life for himself there. If only his conscience hadn't picked the absolute worst moment to make a comeback. If only he hadn't stolen something the Grey Corp bosses really, really wanted. If only the one person willing to help him go on the run wasn't Caspien Jones, with his wolfish grin and way more knives than any one man should reasonably own. William's got the interesting life he wanted, now he just has to hope it won't also be a short one.
