John Charming. Ex knight. Current monster hunter. A descendant from a long line of monster hunters, John Charming isn't really in the business of saving monsters from humans, but Samuel Blanco is a monster who isn't so--monstrous. Unfortunately, the road to a safe haven for Samuel is a treacherous path through ancient Chinese immortals, a commune where the supernatural do what comes supernaturally, a custody battle over a very special child, and a cult of half elves who are badly overcompensating for only being half elf. Forget happily ever after; it's going to take all of John Charming's brains, skill, and luck just to make it through this Midsummer nightmare.
