When Ozzyโs scientist parents are kidnapped, he responds to a classified ad in the local newspaper and hires a โwizardโ named Rin who claims that his magic is real, but Ozzy isnโt convinced.
In the final book of the Wizard for Hire trilogy, Ozzy and his friend (and Rinโs daughter), Sigi, are in danger. They are still being hunted by Ray, the power-mad villain who will stop at nothing to find the formula to the mind-controlling discipline serumโone that Ozzyโs parents created and injected into him.
Knowing the dangers that lie ahead, Rin introduces Ozzy to four more friends who also claim magical, wizard-like abilities. Again, Ozzy has no reason to believe that magic exists or that Rinโs eccentric friends can help.
With the injection of the mind-controlling serum, Ozzy is learning to control the minds of animals as well as people. His new powers make him wonder if magic is necessary. Rin says believing is key to seeing the magic all around us, but Ozzy isnโt so sure anymore.
Rin, Ozzy, and Sigi must act quickly, as the minds and free will of all mankind are in danger of being controlled by whoever controls the serum. The wild ride plays out in a nonstop, nail-biting battle at a popular fantasy convention.
In this series finale, Ozzy will find out if his kidnapped parents are still alive, and heโll discover that real friends are like magic: they make the impossible, possible.
