Sometimes the barriers between worlds opens and things slip into ours. Nasty things that prey on us. This group is Project Threshold and it stands between us and the monsters. Direct Contact Teams wade in to contain or kill any threats to humanity. There’s a price, however, and unless these agents are smart and savvy enough, dying comes quick and without warning. And, sometimes dying is in the line of duty is the better option.

Such a long life of killing has left plenty of dangerous enemies in its wake. An ancient witch coven, a jealous assassin, and even a demon lord all have old scores to settle.

But the past doesn't forget so easily, and neither will a betrayed guild of magical assassins. Yrlissa's only concern is to keep her new family safe, but with enemies closing in on all sides, will they become a distraction she cannot afford?
