The truth behind the creation of the mother of all monsters has to come out at some point. It always does. The only question is whether or not you survive it. Halsey Ambrosius just didn't think it would be revealed to the other elemental clans before she could tell Brigham. She might be the Alpha Hunter, but she has no idea what that means, other than fighting crazy powerful monsters that are new on the scene.

Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins thought things would be more exciting since they were now Pixie MPs. Not so far. They're stationed in a cramped little office in a military police station on post doing mundane, boring tasks. Answering phones, directing calls, and taking care of paperwork. There's a method to the badness. They have to prove they can be responsible when they're not battling magical threats alongside Alpha Team.

Things are heating up in LaLa Land. Nothing makes tongues wag faster than rumors of a cursed movie set. These aren't special effects. Someone or something magical is at play. The attacks on suppliers of Pink Fairy continue. Norah needs to track down who's responsible and put an end to the problems for good. Domenico is safely hidden away deep below the surface of the Ocean, but Norah can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. She needs to get information about what's going on and the best way to get information about Domenico is to ask a bunch of criminals. That's easier said than done.

In East Calico Rock, there's always one more emergency to be handled by Winland Underwood. Unfortunately, this time the emergency is her mother. Just when Winland thought her mom was starting to settle into life in the refugee town, danger strikes once again. This time, Winland and the crimson heart are strong enough together to deal with it themselves. But are the consequences of Winland's new power too much for Leeland to handle?

Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders. Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up—will Sophie have to take sides? Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself. Does he have to go it alone?

Winland Underwood was right! Her mother is alive, rescued, and returned to the Ozark kemana. The Warrior Witch may be back, but the mother-daughter reunion Winland dreamed of isn't what it's cracked up to be. Especially now that they're both dealing with the fallout.

All families have their secrets. The Ambrosius Clan has more than most and they're keeping information from people in their own family. Halsey and Brigham have just about had enough. So has Greta. We're only as sick as our secrets. It's time for some truths to be revealed, no matter who doesn't want the cousins to find out what's really happening. Will they be able to put all the pieces together and figure out what role the Order of Skrár is playing in all of it?

Halsey and Brigham Ambrosius' task in the English countryside isn't quite over. The barghest may have been slain, but they have one task remaining. Figure out what happened to the people in the abandoned village of Coningsby. Frankly, the mission isn't over until they clean up the barghest's mess because we all know, Halsey always completes her missions. It's a good thing the copper orb can help heal the locals from what was a deadly monster poison. But how to do it covertly without letting civilians know who or what Haley is? What else can the orb do?

Things are finally looking up for Winland Underwood. East Calico Rock is safe, Erickson and his thugs are behind bars, and Hector Fang is turning out to be exactly what she needed. For the first time in her life, all her training with the Old Fixer may not apply. Until it does . . .

The rules for monster hunting are changing fast and that's not the only thing that's different. The Ambrosius Clan militia are taking on paying clients. What happened to taking down monsters for the sake of humanity? Halsey and Brigham aren't sure, but that isn't going to stop them from taking on this mission and heading to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey.

Everything is changing. It's the last semester of junior year for the Elemental, Sophie Briggs and her friends at The School of Roots and Vines. But will it be for better or worse? Classes take a priority for the teenagers but work and figuring out how to be a Defender is a close second. Both Marcus and Sophie's mysterious new tutor at the EBI have secrets to hide. Will Sophie harness a new curiosity in pursuit of the truth about them both?
