The Wayward Investigations Team

Left at the hospital shortly after birth, Kendall’s life has been out of her control since the beginning. That was true. After faking her death to escape her adoptive mother, she fled to New Orleans for a fresh start, one fully in her control. Then Marcélite opened her eyes to the darkness and put her leadership skills to use.

Daughter of a tech mogul, Frankie has been exposed to computer engineering all her life, from rebuilding machines to pushing the legal limits of the cyber world. She has no interest in sitting by while the team searches for her missing friend, not while her expertise can help.

Born and raised in Norway, Leif lived a happy life until his family was slain at sea. Unraveling the mystery of how a draugr stowed away on their ship has narrowed his focus on vengeance. He knows who is responsible. He merely has to wait until he can reach him. Until then, he will train and support his new family.

Magic is nothing new to Marcélite Morel, neither is medicine. Living her truth as a transgender woman cost her a career as a surgeon and the mystical tutelage of her mother. Yet she couldn’t be more proud of the life she lives now, harvesting the supernatural for profit to create a haven for LGBTQ+ at-risk youth.

Limits exist within the Yang family. Jian is excellent at finding them. While his father could overlook the ever-hungry Taotie heritage on his mother’s side, he would not accept his son’s transition from Liling to Jian. Thankfully, Marcélite recognized Jian for the asset he is, bringing him into the team as a mechanic and a magical shield.

Diego leads with his heart. Despite being outcast by his family for being gay and being held captive as a source of food for vampires, his smile still comes easily. Marauders saved him from a slow death and brought him to Marcélite for medical attention. Ever since, he has been her pupil, learning the mystical arts and varied pantheons of our world.
