In a world that’s forgotten magic, Leo Thorne is a Brooklyn shopkeeper quietly tending to leftover enchantments—from evicting rug demons to soothing sorrowful clockwork. When the predatory Sylvan Group demands his most dangerous artifact, the legendary *Codex Immortuos*, the “Last Occultist” stages a spectacular, humiliating failure to protect it. Trading grand destiny for humble purpose, Leo discovers his real calling isn’t guarding last things, but caring for lost ones: the small, strange, and human remnants of magic that still need a keeper. A tale of found purpose, dry humor, and the quiet power in life's oddments.
