Malcolm Tensor was a spy for the British government--one of the best. Sixteen years after wild magic was unleashed on an unsuspecting world and monsters stalk every corner of the globe, he's the leader of a Kill-or-Contain squad. His mission: to scour the north of the UK for unregistered magical creatures and... take care of them by whatever means necessary. He, too, was transformed by the explosion of magic so long ago, but he's still a patriot, and he knows his duty. When terrorists strike at the heart of the new order, Tensor is astonished to find his team reassigned to normal duties. Why is he being sidelined? Why does the government need so many monsters rounded up? Tensor won't stop until he finds the answers, no matter the cost. There is evil lurking beneath the center of London... evil older than anything he can imagine...
