Talismaker - Stray Magic, #2

Since losing his arm and being discharged from the army, Millé has been struggling-for money, for work, for a home. Though he is a highly skilled talismaker, his 'devil eyes' keep anyone from hiring him. Then he saves a man from a footpad, and in gratitude the man takes him home-where Millé finds far more than the warm meal he was promised.
