Beggar's Banquet — Daniel Hood

A DRAGON FAMILIAR DOES NOT A WIZARD MAKE...

Liam Rhenford possesses a wizard's familiar, but he's not a wizard himself. He's solved a few crimes, but he's no detective. Yet, when a priceless family heirloom--a magical jewel--is stolen from Liam's business partner, the local magistrate turns to Liam for help. With all of Southwark in a festive mood for the Beggar's Banquet holiday, Liam must put celebrating aside to help his two friends. Of course, solving a crime with Fanuilh, his dragon familiar, at his side, will do nothing to dispel the rumors about Liam.

But what's a little magic among friends?
