Detective Thaddeus Ezax is in over his head. He’s the only wizard in Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department, and it was his name that got him the job. The Ezaxs are known as some of the most powerful wizards in the world, but Thaddeus isn’t your average Ezaxs. Is it any wonder his family shuns him? When a kidnapping case is dropped into his lap, Thaddeus must act fast. While most five-year-olds can cast a location spell, Thaddeus can't and is forced to get creative. When he finds himself in possession of a black market werewolf skull with a ghost trapped inside, accidentally releases the spirit, and somehow forms a connection with it, things get even crazier. Sandulf Hunter doesn’t remember dying, but he remembers the last thing he saw before everything went black -- a wizard. All wizards must die! The only problem is, the wizard standing next to him smells too damned good, so good Sandy thinks he might have to keep him. And since wherever Thaddeus goes, Sandulf finds himself yanked along, he might not have a choice in the matter anyway.

Thad didn’t know. He assumed they’d all been listed as normal humans since no one had mentioned otherwise, but the listings weren’t always true. He was listed as an Ezax, one of the most powerful magical families in the world, and all he could do were simple spells any wizard child could master.


Jaecar continued to frown. “If the Angel Maker can scent the victims’ powers, is he or she—” He gave Ric a hard look before he could object, “—a shifter?”


Thad shook his head. He’d never believed the Angel Maker to be a shifter. It was Ric’s theory, but shifters couldn’t scent magic, only the effects of it if the spell cast was something that left an odor. And while Thad hadn’t been part of the investigation, he’d always suspected they were on the wrong track when they hunted the killer.
