In a world where weredogs, witches, and humans live side by side, Lumine is a down-on-his-luck weredog with nowhere to turn...until he meets antisocial witch boy Kody. Lumine has a big, fluffy secret: he is a werewolf, a rare and powerful type of magical being thought to be extinct. Except...he can't transform properly. When robbers attack the two boys, Lumine shifts into his other form, a tiny, fierce, and ridiculously cute puppy dog. How is he supposed to instill fear in their enemies like that?! Impressed with the small but mighty pup, Kody's dad hires Lumine to be his son's bodyguard. Tensions are high in the supernatural community; witch kids have been going missing, and Kody's father is worried. Lumine is determined to both protect Kody and become his friend, but the secretive witch does everything in his power to keep Lumine at arm's length. When Lumine persists, he realizes that Kody has his reasons for being so withdrawn: he can't control his magic, other witches at school are bullying him, and an evil spirit in the shape of a cat is haunting him at every step. Without realizing, Lumine has stumbled paws first into a family full of their own secrets. Kody is plagued by shadows, and his father's motivations for hiring Lumine aren't nearly as simple as they seem. Things are far more dangerous than Lumine bargained for, and this is only the beginning.
