Despite my fear, my brain recalls something I always keep in my car for safety purposes. I open the compartment and fish out a handgun. "You own a gun?"

"Also, it will be useful in case of a zombie apocalypse or unforeseen dangers like being attacked by possessed wolves in the middle of the night while driving." The side of Barron's lips curves into a smirk, and that makes me frown. Is there something amusing with what I said? I mean, it's happening right now. "You're crazy," he says with a chuckle. I blink twice as I stare into his deep blue eyes. "I'm an artist. I have an excuse to have a little bit of madness," I reply in a firm tone, cocking the gun with a steady hand. "Especially if I'm in a life and death situation."

While Bannen had every intention of finding adventure, being yanked through a magical portal two continents away isn't quite what he imagined happening. For that matter, being magically bound to a mage-in-training hadn't ever crossed his mind. Being the first human familiar ever summoned in Corcoran? Not on his to-do list.Rena certainly needs all of the help that she can get, as her magic is very different, inhibiting her of the normal shields and protections. Everyone says her summoning a human familiar is a mistake, that she needs to break the bond and send Bannen back.But Bannen doesn't like this idea, not one iota. Renata Rocci has the magic of a Grim Reaper, the heart of a lion, and a body too frail to keep up with either. She can face assassins; meddlesome mages; politicians; and legendary, nightmarish monsters without flinching. Without losing and that's sexy as sin. This is definitely not the adventure he signed up for. It's far, far better.
