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.

“Don’t be stupid, Ezax. You only find what I want you to find. You don’t think I can conceal things?” He spread his arms. “No one will find this. They won’t see it, and should they come close to the border, there will be a little nudge to make them go in the opposite direction.” He grinned. “We’re hiding in plain sight. I might let in your furry friend, though.”


“Fascinating.” Dread curled in Thad’s gut. If Jaecar, Ric, Leo, and Elora managed to magically track him here, they still wouldn’t see him.


Sandy had no idea what Grim was talking about, but considering how the color slowly drained from Thaddeus’ face, it couldn’t be good. He wished he’d brought pain pills. Thaddeus must be in severe pain by now. If he put something in his pocket while solid, would it survive going transparent, and going back to solid again? When he’d been naked in Thaddeus’ bed, he’d gone back to fully dressed once he’d faded, so it wasn’t likely he could bring things with him.
