With magical prowess that confuses and scares the pure-breed wizards, he discovers that not all are as welcoming as he would've hoped. Following a promotion to Deputy Commissioner of the Vigilum-the wizarding worlds intelligence and law enforcement bureau-Chase finds himself in the center of controversy. There are those in the magical world who are unhappy of the inclusive policies under the direction of the current Chancellor. That discontent spills into the streets, bringing riots and violence.

Will Chase be able to end the bloodshed and save the Federation before it's too late?
