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.

“Thanks.” Thad swallowed two pills dry while watching Sandy turn translucent again.


“Soo…” Jaecar stared at the space where Sandy had stood before he faded. “You’re a sorcerer.”


Thad sighed. “I guess. I don’t know…I should talk to my parents…right?” Or not. He grimaced. He didn’t want to talk to his mother, it had been three years, and it had been a wonderful time. He didn’t want to think about how he could be a sorcerer when his parents were mages. “Any leads on Ava Davis?”


“What do we know about the latest missing woman?”


Jaecar motioned at a file Leo was holding.


“Okay, we need to see if she or any of the old ones have met Matthew Adams.”


“Ms. Davis’ boyfriend?” Leo looked at him.


Thad nodded. “He’s a psychic, and my guess is he can sense and or find wizards.”


“I didn’t bait him.” Thad frowned at Sandy.


“You did, you showed him you were a wizard and his eyes went all funny. Now he knows you.”
