Black Magic ROUNDABOUT

On his first day of his long awaited summer trip to Italy, James Bryant found himself lacking heart. Literally, it was blown out of his chest by accident by a trigger happy woman with a huge, magical device she referred to as her broomstick.
Upon waking up, however, he found himself in another reality, where a certain trigger happy woman reveals herself to be a Witch and makes the following declaration:

“I’m here for something as simple as revenge. And seeing as we’re linked, you’re going to help me.”

What follows is a tale of love, loss, assassins, and family secrets.
