Federal Witch: Familiar Magic by Taki Drake is a five-book urban fantasy series set within the Federal Witch shared universe created by T.S. Paul. The series focuses on the bond between witches and their magical familiars, animal companions that share a deep connection with their witch partners. Starting with Familiar Shadows in 2017, the books follow the challenges of forming, maintaining, and defending these partnerships in a world full of magical threats.
The series spans from 2017 to 2021, with each book building on the relationships and conflicts established earlier. Familiar Trials - Fledgling covers the early stages of a familiar’s development, while later entries like UnFamiliar Pathways and Familiar Enemies push the characters into increasingly dangerous situations. Drake uses the familiar concept to ground her stories in strong character bonds, giving the action and magic a personal weight. Readers who enjoy the broader Federal Witch universe will find this sub-series adds depth to the world’s magical system, and those new to the setting can start here without difficulty.
