A long time ago, there were three gods. They roamed the earth, laughing and drinking and mingling with mortals, creating demigods and quarter-bloodeds, who retained some of their godly powers. The world was bursting at the seams with life and magic and prosperity. But one day, the gods disappeared...

All her life, McKayla had been able to see past the Masquerade. She could see magic and powers and skills that Ordinaries could not. Of course, as she grew older, she was told not to speak of such things, for they didn't exist. Right?
Now, at nineteen years old, she's a detective for a branch of the government that specializes in magic, and those who wield it, solving cases and arresting criminals before they can deal too much damage upon the world. But no matter how fast she runs, she can't escape what happened two years ago, or the memories of the friend she lost.
But when a sparky youngster and a childhood friend/crush that she hadn't seen in years enter her life, she realizes that there's things going on in the world that don't quite make sense. And they concern her....

#51 magical realism (06/28/23)
Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true.
At least, that was what these three teenagers thought.
It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy.
And they are the ones in possession of it.
When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy.
And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse.
Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.
