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 nodded. “Both Grim and Albert Oxon got their skulls crushed by an angry shifter.”


“And the shifters are not pleased about hearing you’re selling shifter skulls.”


“I had nothing to do with it, Thaddeus. You have to believe me.”


Thad pursed his lips in an unimpressed manner. He did believe Pickering never wanted to be involved in something that had anything to do with creating or selling shifter spirits trapped in skulls, but he couldn’t tell him. Pickering had never made smart choices, but he wasn’t one to get corrupted by power—at least Thad didn’t think he was. It had been many years since they’d hung out. “You work in a black market for wizards. You handed me a skull.”


“Grim said he told you to hand me the skull.”


Pickering slumped on the chair and sighed. “He did.”


“He also told us you’re the one who has the missing women.”


Pickering drummed at the table. “I didn’t kidnap them.”
