When Jessie, one of the oldest and most powerful witches in the world, joined the Witch Council over a thousand years ago, she became embroiled in politics, saving the world, and trying to keep the existence of the supernatural world a secret from humans. Now that the supernaturals are out in the open and a tentative alliance between the fae, cryptids, humans, and witches is underway, Jessie finally gets to leave it all behind to open a bar in a small town north of Atlanta where the most annoying thing on her plate is making sure the vampire groupies don’t wind up as someone’s dinner. However, her plans of a peaceful retirement are disrupted when a gargoyle is killed in her bar. It wasn’t just any gargoyle though- it was the secretary for the European cryptid ambassador to the Alliance. Finding herself in the center of an international- and interspecies- nightmare, Jessie has to rally her allies to stop a power hungry cabal from starting a war and destroying life as she knows it.
