Bought by the Bone Witch and bound to serve her, one gentle beast may be the only thing capable of thawing her icy heart.
Hal is a kindhearted therianthrope who is deceived, captured, and sold at a black-market auction, where he is purchased by the mysterious and feared Bone Witch. Forced into becoming her familiar, Hal takes on everything from household chores to more dangerous errands while trying to understand his new master. But beneath the witch's frightening reputation is a surprisingly awkward kindness, and as the two spend more time together, an unusual bond begins to grow between master and servant.
