Gareth Ellis is forty-four, works in the Aberystwyth housing office, and just wants to eat his chips in peace. But a wet Wednesday on the promenade goes wrong when a spectral corgi interrupts his dinner with a nip to the ankle.
Gareth has been accidentally drafted into the Morrigan Department, the civil service of the afterlife. Now the urge to organise has got its hooks in him. He's alphabetising his girlfriend's spices, colour-coding the recycling, and he can smell a misfiled housing application from three streets away.
With the help of Quill, a talking wren with a talent for bureaucracy, and a pack of legendary hounds, Gareth must balance his day job with his new night shift. By day, he clears council backlogs. By the light of the full moon, he transforms into a Springer Spaniel to hunt down lost souls and administrative errors that could unravel reality.
A warm, funny cosy fantasy set in modern Wales, with Welsh myth, found family, and just enough paperwork to be dangerous.
Now, with a salary that doesn't make sense and a dental plan that covers fangs, Gareth might finally have found his purpose.
