Alters

Dawn Hollins' life shattered into pieces. It was never easy living with dissociative identity disorder in the first place, especially since each personality got magical powers while she was left picking up after them. When one of her personalities got her in trouble with the world's "magical police," the Servants of the Twice Born, things went to hell and it wasn't even her fault. Now some of her personalities won't talk to Dawn, she's forced to work for a Servant who would rather decapitate her than talk to her, and something is off with her foster mother, Grace Wilson. Not to mention she still has research to do and a psychiatry residency to complete. Dawn doesn't have time for vampire racketeers, a besotted werewolf, and necromantic artefacts made of grave dirt. Can Dawn and her alters pull it together long enough to solve the mystery of growing spiritual activity in the city and figure out how to put her life - and potentially her sanity - back together?

Post-doctoral fellow, burgeoning psychiatrist, and someone living with dissociative identity disorder, life for Dawn Hollins has always been hectic. Sometimes it feels like all she has become is a walking calendar app for a group of personalities using a shared body and demanding lives of their own. It doesn't help that she's also a Changeling, someone touched by magic as a child, left straddling the worlds of humanity and magic. For Dawn, though, it's simple: she has no magic, so she will just live as normal of a life as possible as someone with multiple personalities can manage. When one of her greedy personalities takes a job for an untrustworthy werewolf...sorry, lupine...everything falls apart. Now on the run from the magical world she hoped never to touch, Dawn and her alters have to work together to survive. They have the power, but can they come together long enough to pull it off?
