Dirk Raynell is the half-elf son of Lex, the elf who founded the magical team. But he isn’t certain he wants to become a member, even after he meets its charismatic and very gay Elven leader Tonio. The team is comprised of Felan, a wolf-shifter; Reni, a vampire witch; Mattie, a human witch; and Bay, a human warlock who is cursed to come back each time he dies at the age he was at his first death. The sixth, unofficial member is Nina, Tonio's twin sister and a healer.<br><br>Then Dirk becomes embroiled in the jobs the team does, including taking down a mobster and trying to eliminate a very evil sorcerer. Along the way he falls for Bay and discovers swirling undercurrents within the team which could determine if they can successfully stop the sorcerer before he destroys them all.

A Magical Team

“Gentlemen, meet the newest member of the team,” Tonio said when he and Dirk entered the room they used at the station house. “He’s taking Jake’s place.”


“Damn, he’s just a kid,” one of the men muttered.


One of the women arched a delicate golden eyebrow. “Since when did he have a kid?”


Dirk cocked his eyebrow at her in return. “Since twenty-one years ago when I was born?”


“A real young un’,” a handsome brown-haired man said, studying him.


Dirk sighed. “So I’m not as ancient as the rest of you. Shoot me.”


“And waste such a pretty lad? I’m Mattie, by the way. That’s Irene,” she nodded to the blonde, “butwe call her Reni. The bearded, red-haired giant is Bay.”


“Notice she forgot to introduce me. I’m Felan, a wolf-shifter, and a lot older than I look.”


Since he appeared to be twenty-five at most, Dirk asked how old he really was.
