Aiden Moss and Torloch Doyle: dragon and gargoyle, detectives extraordinaire, and now, world-class...babysitters? When a human child somehow gets past the wards at Headquarters, the team (with a little help from their friends) has to find out who the child belongs to and get her home, before they get arrested for kidnapping. A lost family heirloom. A kidnapping gone wrong. And a pair of detectives who would really just like to be able to see the concert of a lifetime. But when duty calls, Aiden Moss and Torloch Doyle are on the case faster than you can say "pixies are conniving little..." Helped by a dash of witchy charm, a sprinkle of vampiric speed, and a few late-night snacks, can the boys solve the case without breaking too many regulations?

The Ink Slingers Guild is a group of like-minded individuals who come together for support and encouragement. Since its inception the Ink Slingers have continued to expand membership, filling their ranks with some of the best and brightest up and coming authors of our time. This, the Ink Slinger's second anthology, is aptly named Into the Abyss. As with the first anthology, Beyond the Threshold, this collection of short stories is based on one of the writing exercises done at every ISG meeting. The exercise is to have three members each pick one word. Members have five minutes to compose a story with the chosen words. As with any creative outlet, members take each other into new worlds the way only writers can. The words that were chosen this year were: Gravity, Innocuous & Perilous. Each story is a journey created just for you, so sit back and enjoy as the Ink Slingers welcome you Into the Abyss
