Genies didnâ€™t burst from lamps, and talking fish didnâ€™t bargain for their lives. In all the world, there was only one place humans could get wishes: Brimstoneâ€™s shop. And there was only one currency he accepted. It wasnâ€™t gold, or riddles, or kindness, or any other fairy-tale nonsense, and no, it wasnâ€™t souls, either. It was weirder than any of that. It was teeth.”
“I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?”
