Seeking His Familiar (Raven and Snow)

Paperback – December 9, 2025
by Samantha Cayto

A steamy, magical queer romance where a disgraced witch seeker and a reluctant snow-leopard familiar must learn to trust each other, harness their combined power, and survive a world where witches are hunted as readily as they wield their gifts.

After leaving the Boston police department under a cloud of scandal, Seamus “James” Byrne rebuilds his life as a private detective. What he needs is an edge—something to sharpen his magic and ground his purpose. What he finds is Aden, a striking snow leopard shifter whose strength, innocence, and raw potential make him the perfect familiar. Their bond, sealed through magic and desire, amplifies James’s ability to track people and truths, giving his fledgling investigative business a chance to thrive. But the bond also gives James something he never expected: hope.

Aden never imagined his future would unfold this way. He wasn’t given a choice in becoming James’s familiar, yet he clings to the possibility that their partnership can become the loving, equal life he’s always longed for with another man. As their connection deepens, Aden’s unique gifts reveal a world far darker than James ever realized—and far more dangerous for familiars like him.

Their first major case, locating the missing heir of a wealthy family, quickly turns into a labyrinth of manipulation, secrets, and magical power plays. Someone is using them as pawns, and the consequences of failure could be deadly. To survive, James and Aden must combine their strengths, confront the truths binding them together, and navigate the cutthroat politics of a realm where witches and their familiars are never truly safe.

Spellbinding, sensual, and filled with high-stakes intrigue, Seeking His Familiar explores love forged through magic, trust earned in peril, and the fierce resilience required to carve out a future in a treacherous world.
