It's been fifteen years since the Awakening. Fifteen years since the supernatural underworld, previously kept hidden from the public's knowledge, erupted in one night of terror that changed everything. Xavier Kowalski was there, but it's been many years since he allowed himself to dwell on those memories. He remains an agent with the Bureau, a privately funded organisation that has fought against the creatures for centuries, but his loyalty is about to be tested. On her deathbed, his ex partner makes him promise to take charge of seventeen year old Ray. A girl with a past neither of them are prepared for. But they have no choice but to face the truth of the Awakening and the parts they have to play in what comes afterwards.
