The battle with the harpies is over, but some believe the harpy threat will never be over until the harpies are exterminated. If the Strix combatants pursue the harpies to their home in the caves of Golpa, can they end the war? Can Jordan and Juer save King Konig, or is devious Prince Diruk’s rise to the throne inevitable? And what of Jordan’s estranged family and her unbreakable promise to Sohne? When the elf princess turns up to collect, Jordan has to give her what she asks for or die. The truth is...she'd really rather die.

Jordan’s father is in deep trouble. He's trapped in the tombs of Trevilsom, and rescuing him is only the first of her challenges. When she, Toth, and Eohne find him, Allan is a shadow of his former self, and even Eohne isn't sure how to help him. Meanwhile, on the islands of Rodania, several attacks by harpies suggest sabotage. How else could they be getting through the magical protections? The Rodanian government has been arrogant enough to assume a military wouldn’t be necessary, leaving the nation vulnerable. This costly mistake could well spell catastrophe for Rodania’s citizens, unless action is taken, now. So, why is the king so slow to respond?

The underlings are defeated. Time to take down their bosses. With the local enemies contained, the agents set their sights on finally taking on the true threat. Earthly enemies have compromised their government and are launching cyber-attacks on their systems. Oriceran enemies have added new bounties. Cara and Diana are still in the crosshairs. No one is safe, in the city above, or the Kemana below. Even the group honoring the memory of the Silver Griffins is targeted.

It's time to clean up their city or die trying. The Remembrance have stepped up the pressure after the Federal Agents of Magic slapped them down hard. There's a bounty on Diana's head, as well as her second in command. Criminals are dying for the chance to collect. And the bad guys have found more artifacts to steal - from the police. The lines are drawn. The battle is at hand. The Black-Ops Agents of Magic are ready.

Enough is enough. Special Agent Diana Sheen has been pushed too far. Magical attacks on her, on her team, and on the city she's responsible for have tipped the balance. It's time to hold the enemy responsible. But there are more players on the opposing side than she knows. Dirty politicians, a sneaky witch maneuvering to increase her own power, and a dark and mysterious magical alien who is moving the rest around like toy soldiers on a gameboard. Plus, a sneaky assassin is prowling around her town.

Special Agent Diana Sheen is in an unending battle...against magical villains on Earth, more of them from another planet, and her own government. The enemy's use of a dire artifact requires a response. BAM will have to go after their own artifacts to even the score. But there are plenty of people standing in her way: a council of alien magic users who want the artifacts for themselves; the underground leader who was pivotal in breaking the back of the city's covert Ultramax; a local gang who has the ARES team in their sights; and escapees from prison who are looking for revenge.
