Risking death is part of the job...finding his mate isn't.

Hippo shifter Chase Allard is sent to infiltrate a shifter gang that is rumored to be catching and binding witches—a disgusting practice that makes a mockery of the familiar bond. A bound witch dies within a few years.

Rhys Howland's magic is in his voice. After being captured and forced to use his magic to benefit the shifters imprisoning him, he is desperate to escape, but he is always guarded. But when the hippo arrives, Rhys hears a different song in the air: Chase is his familiar. And a familiar is the last thing Rhys wants or needs.

For Chase, finding his familiar bound and trapped pushes him to the edge of control. He'll have to choose between blowing his cover and saving his mate.

For readers who like size difference, fated mates and gay romantic suspense.
