When Secret Service Agent Rick McCoy punches his partner's murderer in the face after arresting him, he fears his dream of getting promoted to the President's personal detail is over. His boss has a different transfer in mind and partners him with the agency's top agent in the super secret Paranormal Investigations Division - an immortal phoenix cursed to human form. The problem is that Rick doesn't believe in the paranormal, immortals, phoenixes, or curses. Phoenix Dante Brand was cursed centuries ago to human form for daring to think himself more beautiful than a fae. Finding his purpose in stopping mythic crimes, he has been an agent of the US government since he escaped Revolutionary France. Breaking in a new human partner is always hard, and a rash of murders targeting human sidekicks doesn't bode well for their already rocky relationship. When one attack nearly ends their fledgling partnership, and another places Dante himself under suspicion, Dante and Rick find themselves scrambling to figure out who is blaming human murders on mythics before the flames of violence are fanned into full-fledged war. There are factions on both sides who would benefit from a human mythic war, and are more than willing to pour gasoline on the fire of prejudice and suspicion regardless of how many lives it costs.

An alien prince who gave up everything to save his people. A young janitor who just wants to get home to his family. An intergalactic threat that could destroy both them and our world. A century ago Prince Belenos was offered an impossible choice: struggle through losing battle after losing battle while his people are decimated, or sacrifice his entire existence to become a powerful symbiotic weapon. But absolute power corrupts, and Belenos's host is no exception. Forced to sever a lifetime bond to stop his host's cruel reign, Belenos is left crippled and banished, with only the songs of the stars to keep him company. Isaac Anderson is content to work nights as a janitor to support his wife and young daughter, but an unexpected attack on the research facility he cleans makes him a reluctant hero instead. Someone is collecting space weapons, and Belenos is at the top of their list. Bonding with Belenos could destroy the peaceful life he's built, but rejecting him could leave the whole galaxy open to a bigger threat than even he realizes. Together, Belenos and Isaac could become an unstoppable protector, or they could become more dangerous than the destructive force they are trying to stop. The songs of the stars that helped Belenos can keep them on the right path. If only they listen.
