Anthropologist Jillian Ramsay's career has taken a turn south.
Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological
creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay
hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies
Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a
fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to
secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the

look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where
humans and supernatural residents have been living in
harmony for generations. Mermaids and gator shifters swim in
the bayou. Spirit bottles light the front porches after
twilight. Dragons light the fires under crayfish pots.
Jillian's first assignment for the League could be her last.

getting locals to talk to her. And she can't get the gruff
town sheriff, Bael Boone, off of her back or out of her
mind. Bael is the finest male specimen she's seen in a long
