Thomas just wanted to help his grandfather get a job… any job! Instead, he got them both to work at Guardians Inc. a multinational company that is in reality the oldest of secret societies, one that spans close to seven thousand years of existence, weaving in and out of history, guiding and protecting humanity from creatures and forces that most of us believe are only mythology and fairy tales… and many of those creatures are angry and on the warpath. The balance between Magic and technology is shifting and only a Cypher can guide Guardians Inc. and save humanity from a second dark age. Guardians Inc. was looking for a Cypher, what they got was Thomas Byrne.
