Spellbound Security's Cleveland office has made a name for themselves protecting celebrities of every kind. Stage Illusionist Lukas Reign is in need of a watchdog. Good looks, suave style, and a hint of mystery make him magic's latest bad boy. And now someone wants to kill him. This case will require all of Danica and her team's skills, plus a hefty dose of luck. Each night he's on stage, Lukas performs death defying illusions, and it's up to Danica and her team to make sure they stay illusions.

Her only hope is that Danica Grey, Jilly the Fae Dragon, and the crack team at Spellbound Security can find out who's after her and stop them before they succeed in killing her. It won't be easy. She's a famous actress at the top of her game, and taking time off from her career would relegate her to the D-list. It will require all their special talents to protect her. Bodyguards on the set, investigating the threats, infomancy, and that added edge only magic can bring.

The Pixie Rebels are no more. Now, Z Thornbrook and her miniature cousins are the Pixie MP's, even if on base only their Captain knows there are wings under that uniform. But what happens when you tell a group of new recruits who are used to running the streets to hide who they really are? Well, mayhem—mixed with a lot of magic—and to the pixies' surprise, a sense of duty and honor at their post. It's a lot. That's going to turn out to be a very good thing.

Domenico is safely hidden away deep below the surface of the Ocean, but Norah can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.

This time, Winland and the crimson heart are strong enough together to deal with it themselves. But are the consequences of Winland's new power too much for Leeland to handle?

Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins are all dressed up with somewhere to go. Major Winters is taking them to meet his bosses and the people who sign off on whether the OIP gets to stay or if they're all out of a job. They will need to be on their best behavior if they don't want to get shipped back to Oriceran. Easier said than done. Especially when the pixies realize General Lark is the same Lark whose papers they stole from the bank and is on a list of partners for Arbitum.

Norah Wintry is on the run, but not for long. She has a plan to free all those brainwashed by Magdea and restore Frondle's memories. She's gonna need a little help.

Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins are in the Army now. They've done something completely right—from start to finish for once—and they're excited to continue their mission. A little too excited. They've gotten a taste of what it's like to fulfill their orders and do all the weird magicals-in-the-Army things the right way, without getting in trouble or causing a minor international incident. What do you know? They like working together and making their commanders happy.

Nothing is ever what it seems in LaLa Land. Throw in magic and it's a new level of weird and dangerous. Production has finished on the action film, FULL FATHOM FIVE. It's up to magical talent agent, Norah and the Wintry's Warriors to destroy all copies of the film to prevent Magdea's chaos from spreading further. Norah's going to have to call in all her favors, and then some, to discover where other prints are hidden. That won't be easy. Frondle's brainwashing may be permanent.

She's going to face whatever awaits her at the Order of Skrar's headquarters. The fate of the world is hinging on what happens at this meeting. No big deal, right? Halil Aydem, or the creature masquerading inside him, has something to show Halsey. Something he claims will change everything she knows about the world.

A monster that doesn't exist in any mythology or any of their ancient lore has suddenly appeared. A creature so monstrous, they have no idea how to fight it. The beast can even take on the form of anyone they know and love. Well, that's just wrong. There's more trouble on the horizon. Has the Order of Skrár been an Order of blood humans this whole time? Were they recording all the history of magicals and monsters without a single elemental catching on that they couldn't be trusted?

Time is running out for Scarlett and Runeclaw to save the captives of the Luminous Veil. Despite their efforts to disrupt the Veil's plans, they're still marching toward their ultimate goal.

And if there's one thing that Camus and the Veil have in plenty, it's dark ambition. Amber is using her infomancy to try to track down leads, Snow is working on figuring out the collars' magic, and Maddox is upgrading and repairing Dusk Runner.

Emily Trigger is on a mission with her elite team. The Prodigal Suns are on the hunt for Heka, the ancient marauding god of magic.
