The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world’s stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate.

Pawns in a millennia-old struggle, the young people known only as the Birthday Children were genetically engineered to survive on the planet Omeyocan - but they were never meant to live there.

"The City," a tiny metropolis of a few hundred sheltered citizens floating serenely on a seemingly random course a few feet above the ground, has long been thought safe from the predation of marauding monsters. It seemed like a paradise. A paradise shattered when an invasion of apparent vampires threatens the small haven.

For five long years, the Adversary and his infernal allies have ruled the earth, herding mankind into demon-controlled enclaves and hunting those that remain near to extinction. The Templars, a mere shadow of their once-powerful organization, have continued to fight against overwhelming odds, but for many hope and a belief in a human victory are things of the past. Then, from the depths of the Beyond, a pair of legends emerge.

Now that they've recognized the pattern, Idina and her unit need to close the Monstrous Pandora's Box to balance out the scales after defeating the Olc. But supernatural entities in Scotland are nothing like what Bravo Team has dealt with back home. Neither is magic. That's a problem when their primary objective is to get in, stop the source of monsters, and get back out. When everything leads Idina and her team back to her Muirden ancestral home in Scotland, the mission takes on a completely different meaning none of them saw coming. 

Lieutenant Colonel Richard MacBlair has appeared out of thin air. Idina Moorfield has far more questions than the few answers her Uncle is willing to give her. He wants her to wait and she’s tired of waiting. Does she have a choice? Not really when Uncle is also your boss. Why is he trying to ignore their family connection? Has he been helping her from the sidelines all along? Someone is gunning for Idina and has her in its sights. She just doesn’t know who or what it is.  

Idina Moorfield isn’t the only one on her team with unusual powers. Her buddy, Stop remembers everything he sees, and Cake is a new kind of man of steel. That’s the last two, which means everyone in Idina’s unit has a unique talent. Why would the Army want to bring them all together? Her commander, Hines is still refusing to answer her questions. She’s on a need-to-know basis, and right now, she doesn’t need to know. But Idina’s untapped powers are getting stronger and more aggressive.

When life hands you lemons, you can either make lemonade or lob them like hand grenades at your problems. Nothing is going as Idina Moorfield planned. It’s what happens when magical powers you don’t know you have manifest when you least expect it. Idina needs to make new plans, even if those plans are loosely based on her CO telling her to figure things out. Time to make lemonade. There’s all sorts of tasks Idina and her unit could be doing. Getting them to help out is another issue. Can she figure out how to get them to help her without asking them to help?

Idina Moorfield is a new kind of magical with a dark and twisty lineage. Any other combat engineer in the 82nd Airborne Division would be proud of how far Idina's come, but the visions and voices in her mind are only getting worse. When it affects her work, Idina gets transferred to a new unit—a unit of misfits with their own problems. But sometimes, what seems like the worst move ever, can turn out to be the beginning of something great. Who says outcasts can’t be heroes?

Idina Moorfield is officially a soldier in the army–with a little extra firepower. Her dark and magical little secret. Can she keep the new powers under control? Jump School may be her undoing. It takes focus, determination, and steely courage to face her fears and jump out of a C-130 aircraft from 1,200 feet. That’s exactly what brings Idina’s abilities forward at inconvenient moments. Her magical abilities are acting up and changing. Visions of someone else’s past pop up at the wrong time. In them, voices talk about the Warrior. Is Idina the new Warrior?
