When a cataclysm destroyed New York twenty years ago, the city found itself home to elves, dwarves, orcs, and other fantasy creatures. Now life in Traxis has found a new normal, where the humans of Earth and the fantasy races of Threa live and work side-by-side. As a law enforcement officer in a sleepy Ma-Chis Indian reservation in rural Alabama, Jake Ramsey is far from the concerns of Traxis, until a minor act of vandalism pulls him into a conspiracy of drug trafficking, kidnapping, and murder that threatens to shatter two worlds.
