1
The House in the Cerulean Sea ($21, originally $27) follows a straight-laced case worker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth who gets sent to an isolated orphanage filled with six dangerous magical children. There, he is meant to report any untoward activity and check up on its caretaker, Arthur Parnassus, then report back to the DICOMY's Extremely Upper Management; but along the way stumbles upon far more profound revelations.
