What’s the harm in taking a break from protecting the city for one date? Alison is about to find out.... Bounty hunter license in hand and attitude in place, Alison is ready to house-train the city’s malevolent magicals. But even a Brownstone needs a little downtime! Cleansing Seattle of the Eastern Union’s threat was hard business.

Dark magic has infiltrated the school of necessary magic. Spies stalk the halls. Traitors whisper lies to impressionable freshmen and devious wizards distract with charming smiles. If Alison and her friends can’t see past the friendly masks of their fellow students to the dark purpose they hide, it’s not just the school that will be destroyed. But the forces of evil should have kept one thing in mind before targeting Alison Brownstone.

Dark magic is bent on destroying the school. A Drow princess is gaining powers faster than she knows what to do with them. Her best friend, a Jasper Elf, can’t remember who she is, and her boyfriend turns into a wolf at night and runs with his pack. By day, they’re trying out for the school play, worrying about who’s going to the fall dance, and oh yeah, are excited about Halloween when the dead can finally talk to the living again. Just your typical teenager in America when magic returns.

Alison, the Drow princess, can’t even make it back to the School of Necessary Magic for her junior year without tripping across trouble hunting for her. Underground bullet trains, battles with dark magic, growing dragons, Louper tournaments, school dances, and job fairs. Growing up magical can be tough on a social life. Thank goodness she’s got her friends beside her.

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?

Driver’s ed. Deadly clues. And a secret magical society… It can be tough to get an education at the School of Necessary Magic. Good thing Raine Campbell is a witch who longs to be an FBI agent. That’s a girl with a dream – if she can live through her school days. When Raine finds hidden messages and symbols in old yearbooks, it can’t be ignored. Not if she wants everyone at school to stay alive. Some investigations need the help of trusted friends.

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.

Special Agent Diana Sheen has been targeted by magical villains determined to bring her and her agency down. The bad guys have something big planned. The troll that's adopted her patrols in the night, searching for the cosplaying criminal who has evaded them. The team's undercover agent gets in deeper with their opposition. Inevitably, he faces a moment of truth where he faces off against the good guys. Oh, and Kayleigh wants to mount an AI-controlled rocket launcher on the roof of the house she shares with Diana and Rath.

Special Agent Diana Sheen runs a secret agency...locked squarely in the crosshairs of a magical conspiracy far greater than she'd imagined. The bad guys are seeking artifacts to increase their power, and it feels like they're leading up to something big. Can she stop them in time? The attacks are getting personal. Other bureaus have taken heavy losses, and only her team's magical abilities have kept them from the same fate.

Diana runs a secret Federal agency that combats magic mixed with wicked. Her team cleans up the worst streets, disguised as bounty hunters. Challenge number one is a small troll and his ongoing obsession with action films. Good thing he's a helluva fighter too. Still, is it enough? Dark magic has a new twist born from an ancient cult and they're playing for keeps. Good thing Agent Sheen knows how to play rough. It's all in a day's work at the secret bureau of the Federal Agents of Magic.

The girls and the Gorafrex have a long list of amends to make all around Austin. How hard can it be? Harder than they realize. Things get dicey when the local magicals recognize the ethereal creature who’s been wreaking havoc for weeks. Can the Hadstrom sisters finally fix magic without making things worse?

Lily, Greta, and Romeo are on their home turf, chased all the way home by the Black Heron. Can they finally put an end to them? They’re going to need help. Can they get the full support of the Council of Magic? It’s not going to be so easy with a traitor inside the council. On to plan B then! Carmichael is still out there gathering Black Heron survivors. He will do whatever it takes to complete the transference spell and turn magic on its head.
