Set in nostalgic 2010, in a world not too different from the one you know—except creatures of myth and lore are real! Mortals and Mythicals alike are gripped by the biggest race war ever; enter Warren Howard, Overseer of The Compound, a safe haven for Mythicals buried in Montana's wilderness.

Keeping the peace and performing his duties keep his hands full and his schedule packed, but when Karou Morgan, a young woman spirited away from home by dubious forces, unexpectedly reappears in his life, his world turns upside down.

Forced together, they traverse their complex situation while tensions between them rise and both their worst and best natures are challenged. Truths come clean, and the pair form a unique and everlasting bond.
