Does its grinning, skeletal, too-small smile greet an old friend?

The two fairies apprentice, they called me.

Whose grin is that?'

I look at the baby teeth, tiny and innocent despite their yellowing tinge.

I look down at the dental record in my hand.

My dental record pulled from the files.

I do all the measurements, all of the testing, but I already know.

A footstep on the carpet, a hand under my pillow, an open window.

They're my teeth.

He has my teeth.

Your smile lit up the room.

You were always beaming, no matter the circumstances.

My little trendsetter.

I'm so glad I could be your tooth fairy.

Billy Hindle here, the voice of Alice in The Magnus Protocol, and I'm here to tell you about From the Library of Jürgen Leitner, an upcoming novel available for pre-order right now at rustyquill.com forward slash novel.

Return to the world of The Magnus Archives in From the Library of Jürgen Leitner, an official prequel novel written by Nebula, World Fantasy, and Aurora Award-winning author Preemie Muhammad, with the help of The Magnus Archives' own writer and lead voice, Jonathan Sims.

From the Library of Jurgen Leitner explores an infamous organization from the Magnusverse for the first time, the perilous private library of the enigmatic collector Jurgen Leitner, where occult books are guarded and researched at a fatal cost.

Leitner's library keeps the dangers of these books in check and the would-be readers safe, or so Leitner claims.

For two of Leitner's employees, the risks are worth it.
