Two old dudes want to kill me. Oh, and one of them is my ancestor...
And after centuries of practice, they're pretty good at the whole murder thing. But at least they want to kill each other just as badly.

I'm beginning to realize that none of the old Gods, Legends, or Monsters have been idle the last few centuries. They've been waiting, picking sides, and scheming schemes.
Of course, maybe one of those two old dudes will punch my ticket and save me the headache. A wizard can Hope, right? Because either way, I'm about to have a very bad series of days...

Nate's To-Do List: De-pants Ganesh. Shut down a Monster Circus. Rescue a Chimera. And host Friendsgiving for his guests - an Angel, Achilles, and Death, just to name a few... Easy-Peasy...
The Beast Master has come to town, and he's kidnapping shifter kids for his show.
But the Queens of Fae also want a little deep-fried wizard for the holidays.
Oh, and Nate is losing that last finger-hold on his sanity: hallucinating, and talking to creatures that no one else can see. The demon inside of him is getting stronger, fighting for dominance, and only one of them can survive.
But when Nate's extorted to rescue a lethal Chimera child from the Beast Master's Circus, Nate's only option is to partner with his inner demon, risking his very soul. But his friends begin to doubt and fear this new, darker Nate, taking matters into their own hands - even when that means standing against him.
With allies turned enemies, the Fae breathing down his neck, and a dangerous child's life on the line, Nate must call upon, bully, and coerce new storybook legends and gods to save his traitorous friends from becoming the Beast Master's next victims...
Discover what - if anything - Nate is willing to sacrifice to save the friends who betrayed him...
