Professionally Possessed
Professionally Possessed is a collection of stand-alone fantasy stories about Helena, a woman who exorcises people of demons by drawing the demons out of their bodies into hers. She stumbled into this line of work because of a botched exorcism she endured as a child. During this, she was permanently marked with a tattoo that forces demons in the vicinity to possess her instead of others. To survive, she taught herself how to defeat demons in their inner world, their second consciousness, with magic powers that only exist there. However, the demon controls her body in the outer world while she is possessed.
She is accompanied by Martzia-a charismatic, licensed exorcist who handles the money, clients, and victims-Bridgette-a former soldier and demon slayer, who protects Helena and everyone else from Helena-and occasionally, Simon-a healing mage given his powers by a mysterious god.
