Publisher's Synopsis
Nothing can break the bond between a familiar and a wizard.
Except death.
Nothing can break the spirit of a bonded familiar.
Except the murder of her wizard.
Someone-or some thing-murdered an elderly wizard who practiced black-market magic, leaving a young familiar caught between her human and animal forms. Twig, a street-wise elf, becomes embroiled in an elaborate game of murder and revenge when she joins forces with the familiar to track down the wizard's killer.
