Once Upon a Time: True Names

All magic comes with a price. He is the only man in Storybrooke who can quote it before the deal is struck. The Spinner’s Bargain needs spoken terms and an offered hand: someone states a wish, he accepts, and the magic decides what it takes. Small deals cost a broken shoelace, an hour’s sleep, the memory of a song. Larger ones take a permanent piece of the person he just helped. He can never bargain for himself — that is the one rule the kit will not bend. Daniel Ashford woke as a cursed extra who remembers everything, in a town where nobody else remembers anything. Every clean deal makes him more useful, more trusted, and a little more like the man whose chair the magic is grooming him toward. He has started reading true names off strangers without meaning to. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Once Upon a Time: True Names — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
