Familiar Territory: A Winston and Ruby Story by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Buster’s final wish – a Viking funeral. Although Winston, a small magician with a small talent, wants to give his familiar his ideal funeral, he can’t imagine how he’ll manage a burning boat at sea. Still, a Viking funeral is a small price to pay for years of companionship. Or is it a small price? Winston will break all kinds of laws – magical and otherwise – to give his beloved cat the proper good-bye.
