Theft of Sapphire
(2019)(The first book in the Horrendous Imaginings series)
A novel by Joseph Daniel
Judah is determined to pass his wishgranter's exam and join Alifair's Repo Agency - premier repossessors of broken, malfunctioning and delinquent wishes. The rest of his family already works for the agency, outsmarting horrofiends (wishes turned rotten), and raking in the treasure and Judah is tired of being left out, but when he grants a deadly, fanged monster that comes out three inches tall, Judah fails his exam and is barred from joining the agency.To make matters worse, someone is breaching the Wishrot, the junkyard for malfunctioning wishes, and releasing the most dangerous sorts of imaginings. Desperate to disprove his exam score, Judah accepts an off-the-books repo job to find a malfunctioning dragon - complete with chrome scales and scented exhaust.With the help of the three-inch monster, now named Goliath, Judah hunts the dragon. His search leads him back to the Wishrot, where he discovers a girl from a banished clan of genies breaking into the junkyard. She claims she's looking for her brother. According to her, the Wishrot isn't a junkyard at all, but a cover for an ancient prison hidden beneath the defective wishes. Now Judah must decide if he will help rescue the girl's captive brother. If caught, Judah risks eternal imprisonment by ancient powers wielding forbidden magic. And though reuniting the girl with her brother seems like a cause worthy of a repo genie, is it worth the risk of never seeing his own family again?
