The world was still recovering from the invasion by an alien race that called themselves "The Souls". The recovery was going pretty well except for the revival of the ongoing struggle in the Middle East involving ISIS.Then a small group of American soldiers disappeared from a VA rehab facility where they had been recovering from wounds suffered in that struggle. They shouldn't have been out of coma. They were loose on the streets. No one could find them or explain their miraculous recovery.That is until the FBI called on the wizards of Hogwarts and James Wendt to help them find the missing soldiers.The search spanned the Middle East, Europe, England, South America, and the United States.The soldiers were on The Project. What its goal was no one - least of all them - knew.

The day had ended as it almost always did for Fred Longbottom - a late arrival at home from his job as an Auror. This time, though, it ended for good when he was greeted at his front door by aliens whom you could have mistaken forarachnamanchula. His wife appealed to the US Auror office for help. That was just the beginning for the wizards ofHogwarts and James Wendt. The trouble was that you didn't know whom to trust. Anyone could becontrolled by the real aliens that infested their victims brains. The one advantages that wizards had was that the aliens didn't know they existed. The ensuing war was almost completely hidden from view.

Dudley found himself recruited for a job as a Janitor's assistant. It was not the first time that he'd held that post. He'd been successful the last time. But the last time had been at a Muggle school in Canada. This time it was a Magical school in Scotland.The position did have its advantages. One was definitely a lovely senior who was an adult (at least by Magical law).On the other hand, there was this potions textbook that he'd found in an odd corner that kept getting him into trouble.There was also the fact that he'd given the school's most famous and popular student a really hard time. Not everyone forgave and forgot that.

James Wendt walked through the looking glass five years before this story into a world where magic works and there are schools to train young magicians. It is also a world where there are terrorists who would like to rule the non-magical world. He straddles the divide between magic and non-magic. In this story, he has been fired and told in very certain terms that he must leave the country - by his lover. He is trying to do that and is about to when his door is knocked down by the police. They arrest him and take him to be interrogated about his involvement in the war with the Wizards.How is he to convince them that he is an innocent bystander in this underground war? Can he help Minerva from the inside of a jail cell?

James Wendt stood on the edge. On one side of the edge stood the conventional life of a recent Stanford University graduate making his way in the world of London. On the other side was the life of the newest English Literature teacher at an exclusive Scottish finishing school.He was on the edge between his girlfriend, interning at a prestigious London bank and the Astronomy teacher from Princeton at his new school. He was on the wand edge between the London of Tube stations, Starbucks, a one-room walk-up near Hyde Park and a world where the "laws" of Physics didn't work so much.It was looking like he'd have to make a choice between those two worlds. How much time did he have?
