The year is 2030, and monsters are real. That's right, monsters going from demons, spirits, dragons, and a whole bunch more. Although these monsters exist, humans have been hurting and killing them from the beginning, harmless or not. This caused monsters to go into hiding, blending in with the humans which forced them to alter their looks to look more human-like. This didn't last long, as humans learned to lead them out of their disguises. Soon, the government made a program to help these monsters and let them live in peace in a small city hidden from human society, but these monsters have to follow these conditions: They must be in a group of 3-5 monsters, they must listen to their human caretaker, they must not harm their caretaker, and they are not allowed to leave the city.
The main character of this story is a human caretaker, named Elizabeth Hart or Lizzy for short. Elizabeth has always had an interest of monsters and wanted to see if the rumors she hears about them are true or false. Of course, as any other caretaker who volunteered to be a caretaker had to go through training from the government to handle these monsters. The caretakers can choose to have 3-5 monsters to look after. Elizabeth requested to look after 5, which isn't recommended to do alone, but she does. Little does she know the chaos she's getting into and the truth behind these monsters.
Cassalyn Diao is used to making enemies of all kinds, but none have ever come close to truly hurting her. So when she stumbles upon a plot that could set her nation back by years, she runs to her old allies at the Arecian Secret Service for aid.
Marcus Dalton has been looking for Cass since their last disastrous last encounter years ago, but he didn't expect their next meeting to begin with her passing out bleeding on his front doorsteps. But he'll take the chance to reconcile with her and try to put their past behind them.
It won't be easy, though, with their cunning enemy seeking ways to silence Cass and her own refusal to let anyone in again. The two will have to work together against the ticking clock to survive this game of cat-and-mouse and come out with both their hearts and heads intact.
