Spojené státy americké – Bradford Carr, strůjce spiknutí proti Aktivním, je mrtvý, ale jeho sen o podřízení magie státu žije dál. Prezident Roosevelt se snaží prosadit Zákon o registraci Aktivních a v cestě mu stojí jen Grimnoir, který se neochotně stává mluvčím všech mágů v zemi. Francie – Sally Faye Vierrová se stále snaží pochopit kouzlo, které z ní udělalo jednoho z nejmocnějších mágů v historii. Ví, že coby Provázaná se stala zbraní, ale otázkou stále zůstává, proti komu se její síla nakonec obrátí, protože poslední nositel této kletby skončil jako masový vrah. A kdesi nad Pacifikem Jake Sullivan velí vzducholodi plné grimnoirských rytířů a pirátů, kteří se vydali na svou nejnebezpečnější misi. V japonském Impériu, válečném stroji vytvořenému na obranu lidstva, se k moci dostal podvodník, který si hraje na kancléře a ignoruje všechna varování o blížícím se Nepříteli. Jake Sullivan a jeho spojenci vidí jen jeden způsob, jak Impériu otevřít oči. Musí proniknout do srdce nejmocnější říše světa a zabít údajně nesmrtelného muže, který jí vládne.

"Agent Franks of the U. S. Monster Control Bureau is a man of many parts---parts from other people, that is. Frank is nearly seven feet tall and nearly indestructible. P;us he's animated by a powerful alchemical substance and inhabited by a super-intelligent spirit more ancient than humanity itself. Good thing he's on our side. More or less... Sworn to serve and protect the United States of America from all monsters, foreign and domestic, by one of the country's founding fathers, Frank added one condition to the agreement: the government must never make more creatures like him. Should the powers-that-be do so, then the agreement is null and void. Then he discovers that, under Project Nemesis, the director of the very agency Frank works for is not only making more like him, but is making thirteen. Now, all bets are off and Hell hath no fury like a monster betrayed. Particularly if that monster happens to be an undying killing machine capable of taking out vampires and werewolves with one hand tied behind his back." ---backcover

"Hard Magic:Book 1 Of The Grimnoir Chronicles."

This is New Orleans. That mantra had rung in Chad Gadenier's ears since his first day working in the Big Easy. Everything was different in New Orleans. The food. The climate. The monsters. Even the shadowy and reprehensible MCB was different. But that is just the beginning. The real reason New Orleans is so different is a larval Great Old One growing day by day in power and just about ready to pop. If Chad can't convince "the powers that be" to get involved not only New Orleans but the entire world is going to fall under the power of the nastiest of nasties. Now on the outs with the US Government and in exile from his usual job of saving the world, Chad must rally the forces of light against the coming darkness. The problem is one guy with a sword and a sub-gun isn't going to solve this one. Fortunately, Chad's made a few friends over the years. And the Fey hate Old Ones as much as God's people, and they're not about to give up this world without a fight. If the Saints don't come marching in on this one ... there won't be a Final Battle. There will be a final massacre. Now, where'd he put that number for the ditzy fey princess ...?

"A champion, still standing.

Vadal has faced down gods and demons before and overcome them. Now the champion and defender of the untouchables of Lok has a name. He is grim and implacable. He is still standing despite all this world has thrown at him. He is Ashok Vadal!"-- Provided by publisher

In a business like monster hunting, it's all about setting priorities. The chaos god Asag has been quiet since the destruction of the City of Monsters, but Monster Hunter International know that he is still out there, somewhere-plotting, waiting for his chance to unravel reality. When Owen Pitt and the MHI team discover that one of Isaac Newton's Ward Stones is being auctioned off by Reptoids who live deep beneath Atlanta, they decide to steal the magical super weapon and use it to destroy Asag once and for all. But before the stone can be handed off, it is stolen by a mysterious thief with ties to MHI and the Vatican's Secret Guard. It's a race against time, the Secret Guard, a spectral bounty hunter, and a whole bunch of monsters to acquire the Ward Stone and use it against Asag. For as dangerous as the chaos god is, there is something much older-and infinitely more evil-awakening deep in the jungles of South America
