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.

Sandy snarled at the other shifter who was walking closer to Thaddeus. Was it Leo or Jaecar? There were too many names spinning around in his head.


Thad flinched when Sandulf turned toward Leo, looking ready to attack. “Stop it!”


Leo gave him a wide-eyed look and held up his hands. “I wasn’t gonna attack.”


“No, I know, but…Can everyone calm down?” He sent a pleading look at Elora despite knowing she couldn’t do a thing to help the situation. “Everyone, have a seat.”


Jaecar flashed teeth at him, but he was too tired to care, which should have given him pause.


“You’re ordering me around?” Yellow crept into Jaecar’s eyes and Thad sighed. Fucking shifters. They always had their posturing going on and it was getting tiresome.


“Look. Jaecar.” He got to his feet, hissing as the room spun around him. Shit, there wasn’t a part of him that didn’t hurt. Elora grabbed his elbow and Sandy snarled.
