This is the first book in the Pump Wizards series.

In the Duchy, Kitten risked his life to become a wizard so that he could play in a pump band. The music is great. Playing for the fans as they dance with joy is magical. He's never been happier. Until the Ministry of Intelligence agent tells him he'll be deported if he doesn't produce the heir to the Crown Lands. The Prince had escaped involuntary rehab and moved to Kitten's city, looking for pump music and chemicals.

All of the Duchy cops want the bonus for catching the Prince. The Crown Lands' snatch squad is putting up posters. Kitten finds him first. The snatch squad blows down the doors. With both of them wounded, they check into a hospital run by a criminal organization. Kitten gets a call from his Crown Lands ex-girlfriend. She's in the city, running the snatch squads, and wants to talk.
