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

Bay stood next to the workbench, carefully surveying the room. The shelves along one wall were built-in, not free-standing. So they’re unmovable, but the cabinets…He went to them, studying the floor. If one of these pulls out it doesn’t make any mark in the dust, so…He tested each cabinet anyway, even though he was certain none of them would swing outward without the proper command, if at all. Not unless he’s totally stupid, which he’s not. He did the same with the workbench since there were shelves underneath it which could hide an opening in the floor. Again, nothing.


It was the same in the wine cellar. Lots of shelves—along the wall and free-standing—and none of them showing any indication they could or would move.


Going back upstairs, he rejoined Mattie and Mrs. Johnson. They were in the kitchen, discussing possibleremodeling ideas. “I’d like to see the garage too, if you don’t mind,” he said.
