Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to Washington DC. A lot has changed... They called it the Rediscovery. Magic, long thought the stuff of fantasy, came crashing into this world. Along with it came Metahumans-elves, orcs, dwarves-some thirty million refugees all fleeing a realm torn asunder. A shattered world. Society stands on the brink, just needing a simple push to descend into total chaos. Detective Rick Howland finds himself in a city that averages a hundred murders a year, staring at yet another victim. He'd seen his fill of violence in his time with the Metropolitan Police Department, but this one was different. She was a pretty young platinum blonde with azure blue eyes and the pointed ears of a high elf. Rick soon finds himself caught in the middle of a race war, fighting against time to save the one person who can resurrect this fragile civilization. Or hasten its collapse. It was going to be a long night...
