Julie Meadows is down on her luck when she receives an e-mail drafting her into the Official Para-Military Agency. She didn’t expect “para” to mean paranormal. Her partner is an Aether Elf prince, her boss is a Were…something, and the IT department is staffed by literal trolls. The prospect of a steady job and financial security draws her into a world filled with every myth and legend she’s ever read about. Julie dives into the magical, mystical, and downright fantastic when she and her partner, Taylor are tasked with finding new recruits for the Agency. The problem? Julie is human, and the cost of failing to find a recruit is her life. With the help of Taylor and a snarky mystical artifact, Julie races against the clock to avoid a killer mind-wipe. Should she succeed, her place at OPMA will be secure. If she fails, avoiding her mom’s insistence on the health benefits of aloe vera juice won’t be a problem anymore. Either way, her life will never be the same again.

Julie barely made it out of the sewers alive, and her Yeti woes aren’t over yet. The IA investigation into the incursion at OPMA HQ bring Julie into contact with a trio of paras whose snark is only outmatched by their desire to meddle in Julie’s life. Do the Sphynxes know more than they’re telling her about the mysterious results of her physical? When Malcolm Nox goes missing, leading Julie and Taylor are drawn into a race to find his kidnapper and rescue him before he misses his wedding. Can Julie and Cassidy put their differences aside for Malcolm’s sake, or will their feud get in the way of unraveling the case? Momma knows best… Taking care of her ailing landlady keeps Julie out of the loop for the fallout after the explosive end to the Yeti case. Luckily—or not—for Julie, Rosa offers to lend Lillie a helping hand. Hoping her mom keeps her home remedies off the table, Julie is grateful to accept. She can’t avoid Dr. Olena any longer if she wants to keep her job. Can Julie handle the life-changing news the doctor has for her?

With the possibility of a royal war on the horizon, Julie and Taylor are under pressure to step up their recruiting efforts. Captain Kaplan orders Julie to complete her training. Now she has the full story, Julie has a better idea of the consequences if OPMA isn’t brought back to its full strength. But three heads are better than one, even if one of their team doesn’t technically have a head. Hat has an idea that takes the team deep into Avalon in their search for paras who are willing to stand up and fight for the right to live in peace. While Julie and Taylor are working the recruitment angle, the heads of the seven families are preparing for the eventuality that the unrest rippling through the para world will erupt into violence. Their presence at Julius Nox’s war council is all the inspiration the team need to put everything into their recruitment drive. Taking one for the team doesn’t always turn out to be painful… Julie is pulled back into her human life on their return when tragedy strikes. In her absence, their enemies make their move, leading to a surprise discovery for Julie. Can Julie, Taylor, and Hat save the heirs before disaster befalls the para world? How will it change her relationship with Taylor?
