Someone just trying to keep his head down while the elves appointed him to do the paperwork of putting their boots on the necks of a conquered American people.

When orders come down from a chain of command more interested in boot licking their new masters than protecting American citizens, he has to make the choice. To serve and live, or run and die?

In August 2015, the war started, portals opening up between their world and ours, allowing the Fae to return to our (or their) home world in blood, fire and magic.
