O příslušnících rodiny Priceových by se dalo říct mnohé, rozhodně ale ne to, že jsou obyčejní. Již celé generace studují monstra tohoto světa, takzvané kryptidy, a snaží se mezi nimi a nic netušící lidskou populací zachovávat mír a rovnováhu. Verity Priceová ví, jakou zodpovědnost s sebou rodinné řemeslo nese, přesto by se však místo nahánění strašidel, ghúlů a démonů věnovala raději tancování. Proto se také přestěhovala do New Yorku, aby si mohla splnit sen a dosáhnout kariéry v profesionálním tanci dřív, než se bude muset nadobro ponořit do profese kryptozooložky a samozvané ochránkyně kryptidů. Možná by se jí to i podařilo, kdyby se zároveň nemusela potýkat s kolonií mluvících myší, geniální telepatickou sestřenkou, ohnivzdornými modelkami a profesionálním zabijákem, kterého do New Yorku vyslala Úmluva svatého Jiří, organizace, která její rodinu pronásleduje desítky let. A aby toho nebylo málo, místní kryptidi se začnou podezřele ztrácet, v kanálech se prohánějí zmutovaní lidoještěři a kolují zvěsti o tom, že v podzemí spí drak. Na tohle léto Verity nejspíš nikdy nezapomene...

"It''s hard to be a hero. There''s always something needing October "Toby" Daye''s attention, and her own desires tend to fall by the wayside in favor of solving the Kingdom''s problems. That includes the desire to marry her long-time suitor and current fiancé, Tybalt, San Francisco''s King of Cats. She doesn''t mean to keep delaying the wedding, it just sort of happens. And that''s why her closest friends have taken the choice out of her hands, ambushing her with a court wedding at the High Court in Toronto. Once the High King gets involved, there''s not much even Toby can do to delay things, except for getting involved in stopping a plot to overthrow the High Throne itself, destabilizing the Westlands entirely, and keeping her from getting married through nothing more than the sheer volume of chaos it would cause. Can Toby save the Westlands and make it to her own wedding on time? Or is she going to have to choose one over the other?"--
