Nick suggests what would normally be unthinkable - he and Jamie will temporarily bond as a witch and familiar, and then he can work alongside Jamie with the MWP to solve the case. With the MWP under scrutiny, and political pressures for them to focus on illegal hexmaking rather than the murder of some ferals, both Nick and Jamie fear the crimes will go unsolved. And even worse, it appears this is just the first of a string of feral murders. Others view him as a hero for being a part of the Rough Riders, but no one really understands how awful war truly is. When the body of a dead feral appears slaughtered and covered with blood hexes in the park, Jamie is shocked to find it is his former lover who he thought died during the war. He returned home from fighting under Roosevelt with a missing leg and a lot of regret about his war experience. Jamie MacDougal works for the Metropolitan Witch Police (MWP) as an unbonded witch. It makes Nick crazy that his brother, Rook, has bonded with a witch, and Nick has no intention of ever doing the same. He views them as users who take advantage of their familiar’s magic without any care for their partner. Nick has no love lost for witches, however. Nick’s bar and the apartments he owns are a haven for ferals and he will do whatever it takes to protect them. Nick spends his life taking care of feral familiars, shifters who have not bonded with a witch.
