Obscure Magic

Feline Familiar Society #2

by L.M. Hatchell

Broken. Defective. Wrong. Not the words you want to read on your magical assessment.

Elena is one bad inspection away from being struck off as a witch. And one magical mishap away from exposing the entire magical world.

So of course a customer orders a latte when she's left in charge of Sprinkles & Stuff, the cake shop where she works.

Unfortunately, patterns in the milk foam trigger visions for Elena, and before she knows it, she's rescuing a homeless familliar from leprechaun mercenaries and navigating the dark underbelly of the magical black market.

Paws is clearly not a normal familiar, and Elena is far from a normal witch. Together though, they might just fill in the missing pieces of each other.

Assuming the Feline Familiar Society doesn't catch her harbouring an unsanctioned familiar first...

Obscure Magic is a standalone novel in the Feline Familiar Society series. Each book can be read in isolation or in the reading order suggested.
