“They seek to strip me of everything, to emotionally reduce me to a shell of a man so they can use my magic. Clearly they won’t stop at anything to get what they want.

” Necromancer Benedict Dule is on his way to England to face a past he's avoided for ten long years - ever since his entire family were wiped out one night by a mysterious house explosion. Now the Magical Council is calling him home, demanding he summon his dead family members to ascertain the truth of what really happened that night.

“I don’t have words,” he said softly. “I can’t fathom, when those people should’ve supported you and they…” he couldn’t even say it, yet Benedict had lived with it.

Bear shifter, Dixon Cottle still has a lot to learn about magic users, although that is not surprising. He's barely been mated to Benedict a month and most of that time was spent dealing with the issues surrounding his sister's untimely death.

But when Benedict is being threatened by the Magical Council in England, Dixon has no hesitation in getting on his mate's plane, and flying out with him, even if he's really not sure what's going on. This situation stinks beyond the obvious.

I can’t stop wondering why all this is happening now. The air around them is so thick with lies it's difficult to see who is telling them.

With Benedict's lawyer, Langley, and a friendly shifter called Terrence, Benedict and Dixon navigate magical attacks, nefarious council members, and spirits who just won't come when they called. Leaving the mated pair to wonder has everything Benedict believed for ten years been a lie.

or is something more going on behind the scenes. This book is NOT a standalone.

It is a continuation of book one, Benedict and Bear. This story was written on the assumption that readers will be familiar with the characters and back story before they start this story.
