The Retrievers series is Laura Anne Gilman’s signature work. Spanning ten books published between 2004 and 2011, it follows Wren Valere, a freelance retrieval expert who uses magic to recover stolen and lost objects. Her business partner Sergei Didier handles the clients while Wren does the dangerous fieldwork.
Set in a richly detailed magical underworld beneath modern New York, the series builds from standalone cases into a larger story about power, politics, and the tensions between the magical community and the mundane world.
