Five SFF Stories Driven by Soul-Crushing Debt

Some heroes are chosen by gods or wizards; others are just trying
to escape desperate perilous financial straits and survive a broken system...

We are back to the zero for five for me.

I would add "Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy, 1)" by Ilona Andrews to this list.

The title is "Minimum Wage Magic" by Rachel Aaron.
The protagonist is one Opal Yong-we who is having a bad string of
luck, you will find out why. She must keep up payment son her debt to her
Dragon Father/owner or go back to his creche and do only what he wants.
Aaron has invented the Detroit Free Zone which exists after
Magic returns(?) to Earth.

I reviewed that one a while back. Fun book.

I think Magnus Ridulph took cases due to being dead broke a few times.

Aye - he most definitely did.
