TL;DR: a detective who really shouldn't be one. Jaybird , 174 years old, 1.92m tall. The year is 1946. World War 2 is over, and the world is slowly healing, but the scars of the past still linger. In the heart of New Elderglow, California, where the neon lights struggle to cut through the ever-present fog, the mundane meets the magical. This is a world where elves walk side by side with men, where magic is just another tool in the toolbox, and sometimes, a hard-boiled detective has pointed ears... and a lifespan that stretches for centuries.
