Teo didn’t think that he would find his Familiar. In fact, he thought that he was one of the only people in his village that wouldn’t have access to Power. When he turned nineteen, Teo was ready to move into the world of The Powerless and live without any magic. Before he does, however, Teo is surprised by a white-and-black cat in front of his cabin. He can feel the pull of his Familiar before he even kneels down to greet him. As the most powerful and promising wizard of his village, Teo is entrusted with finding the stones that are syphoning his people’s Power, which will forever change the way that they live. The Powerless and the Powerful do not mix, and for good reason. Teo has depleted almost all his resources in his quest, but he’s stayed steadfast in his belief that this is the right thing to do. Tore’s encouragement helps, both in and out of the bed. But Teo’s relationship with his Familiar and his quest is about to be tested when he realizes that his task might not be what Tore led him to believe. Can Teo help his people? Can his relationship with his Familiar—the man he loves—survive their quest? This story is approximately 10,000 words in length and contains adult language & erotic adult scenes.
