OUT OF BODYA Grayson Knox, Marshal of Magic Urban Fantasy AdventureShe was a powerful witch. Now she's a bulldog. And she wants her body back. When Grayson Knox, Marshal of Magic, is called to investigate a bizarre disturbance, he expects another routine supernatural problem. Instead, he finds a woman behaving exactly like a dog. The magical authorities quickly identify the impossible truth:A witch has been trapped inside a bulldog.
And the bulldog?It's trapped inside the witch's human body. Someone has performed an inverted familiar binding, swapping the minds of human and animal. Now a powerful practitioner named Odette Marsh is stuck in the body of a stubborn bulldog-and she's furious about it. Knox has to find her before the magical courts decide what to do with the spell. But finding a witch who looks like an ordinary dog isn't easy.
Odette can't speak. She can't write. She can't cast spells. And she certainly can't explain what happened. Then Knox discovers that Odette is still very much alive inside the bulldog. And she's determined to communicate. With the help of refrigerator magnets, stubborn persistence, magical investigation, and a little help from Knox's ghostly Watcher, Elvis, Odette finally manages to tell him who she is.
But solving the spell may be only half the problem. The magical court has its own ideas about punishment. And there's one question nobody can answer:What happens to the real dog's mind trapped inside Odette's human body?As Knox digs deeper into the strange magical binding, he finds himself caught between supernatural law, an impossible spell, and a witch who refuses to spend the rest of her life as someone's pet.
Because magic has rules. And sometimes the punishment is worse than the crime. OUT OF BODY is a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure featuring magical law enforcement, witches, supernatural mysteries, paranormal magic, magical curses, ghosts, familiars, and the irreverent Grayson Knox, Marshal of Magic. Perfect for readers and audiobook listeners who enjoy urban fantasy thrillers, supernatural mysteries, witch adventures, magical law enforcement, paranormal fantasy, humorous fantasy, and modern magic with a Southern twist. A witch trapped in a bulldog. A magical court demanding justice. A ghostly Watcher with opinions. And one very angry dog who knows exactly who she is.
Her body isn't hers anymore. But she's coming back for it.
