Wizard's Heir — Daniel Hood

UNHOLY ACTS

Despite what people think, inheriting a wizard's familiar did not make Liam a wizard. But he is shaping up to be quite a detective. When his late friend Tarquin's magic artifacts are stolen, and then used to commit further crimes, Liam must solve a mystery that's already caused one death and threatens to start a holy war. Aided by his dragon familiar, Fanuilh, Liam stalks a mad ghost--and learns the secret of the magical gray gryphon. But they are about to learn an even greater truth ...

Some magic stones are best left unturned.
