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.

“Okay, I might have more questions for you later, but we’re heading out to Grim’s property now.”


Pickering nodded. “I’ll be going away for a long time, won’t I? I’ve never killed anyone, Thaddeus.”


Thad sighed. “But you didn’t prevent people from dying either. You knew there were twelve women in the woods waiting to be sucked dry by Grim, and you did nothing.”


“He would’ve killed me if I had.”


Thad nodded. Grim might have, and maybe it was the wrong way of thinking, but weren’t twelve innocent lives worth more than Pickering’s?


Sandy zigzagged between trees, walking around the property to make sure no surprises were waiting for them. He didn’t trust wizards, and he didn’t want Thaddeus to have to endure anything more.


He’d hoped they would stay at the station while Jaecar, Leo, and Ric went to free the women—Thaddeus was hurt and needed to sleep—but he’d insisted on them coming along.


“Find anything?” Ric appeared by his side.
