Synopsis (Goodreads):
Or...OR they might throw a curse at him and let him sort out the particulars after his world has crumbled around him.
Yeah, Al leads an interesting life. And that's even before he begins to unravel what his most recent apprentice was dabbling in during his spare time. Frankly, Gordie was a massive jerk who deserved everything that raisin did to him and then some.
A gloriously complex world (with a brief appearance by one Iron Druid) with all the insanity you've come to expect when the fae and humans interact. We're talking brawls and fist fights and melees and a straight razor that knows how to leave a mark. And with the mystery of who cursed Al still hanging over his head (along with all the junk that goes along with that particular curse), there's plenty to still be explored.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Al MacBharrais is both blessed and cursed. He is blessed with an extraordinary white moustache, an appreciation for craft cocktails – and a most unique magical talent. He can cast spells with magically enchanted ink and he uses his gifts to protect our world from rogue minions of various pantheons, especially the Fae.Thoughts on Ink & Sigil: Ahh, yes. The Iron Druid world. A little bloody, a whole lot crazy, and you never know when you might run into a person of importance or power. In Al's case, they might have importance, power, and they miiiiiight be in the running to punch him in the ribs before calling it a night.
But he is also cursed. Anyone who hears his voice will begin to feel an inexplicable hatred for Al, so he can only communicate through the written word or speech apps. And his apprentices keep dying in peculiar freak accidents. As his personal life crumbles around him, he devotes his life to his work, all the while trying to crack the secret of his curse.
But when his latest apprentice, Gordie, turns up dead in his Glasgow flat, Al discovers evidence that Gordie was living a secret life of crime. Now Al is forced to play detective – while avoiding actual detectives who are wondering why death seems to always follow Al. Investigating his apprentice’s death will take him through Scotland’s magical underworld, and he’ll need the help of a mischievous hobgoblin if he’s to survive.
Or...OR they might throw a curse at him and let him sort out the particulars after his world has crumbled around him.
