Twenty- Seven year old Harlan Finn had a pretty traumatic childhood that molded who he is today, a psychopathic killer. How did it start? How can someone even choose this kind of "life" to live? On the night of a family event, a cousin he's never met before, came in covered in blood, mumbling, saying things he couldn't understand as a young child, until that very same cousin screamed out, "You're all going to pay for what you've done to me! I'll make you all pay!" Then continued to grab a knife off the dessert table and slit everyone's throats, painting the whole house red with his own family's blood. That right there, in Harlan's brain, struck an inspiration that no child should have wanted.

Zenneth Valgustus is a Lightning Elf working in the human world as an electrical engineer for satellite systems, to the severe disappointment of his high-profile and business-minded family. With their powers limited by a magical seal, the Valgustus' have sought prominence through an electronics company. When Zen reconnects with Kevyn Fuego, an old flame, amiable ex-airman of the Peace Corp, and Fire Elf, his family's corrupt ties try to pull him back into the fold. Some one-off corporate espionage cascades into a series of discoveries that have Zen, and eventually Kevyn, in over their heads. Most troubling of all, General Sion Nox's ambitions have him making alliances with Elves of all kinds, Unseelie Fairies, and a power-hungry human politician. With their backs against the wall, Zen and his friends' resolve to prevent global turmoil only solidifies.
