Once a rising star in the DEA, Cassandra "Cass" Vale is recruited into the Bureau of Esoteric Affairs (BEA)-a covert government division tasked with monitoring cult activity and investigating paranormal disturbances. At first, it feels like the perfect fit: blending her law enforcement skills with cases most agents are too afraid to touch. But the deeper Cass goes, the more she realizes nothing about the BEA is what it seems. Her latest mission drags her into an underground fight club where she encounters Julian Kade, a brooding fighter with scars that don't quite look human and knowledge of the occult that predates her agency. Drawn to him despite herself, Cass begins to piece together a terrifying truth: the BEA may not be containing the supernatural-it may be weaponizing it. As Cass and Julian navigate a dangerous web of government cover-ups, cult conspiracies, and otherworldly threats, she must decide where her loyalty lies-before she becomes the next pawn in the Bureau's dark agenda.
