In a world where cryptids are very much real, but still elusive and under-researched, Kyra Mason’s family works for CRISIS: the Cryptozoological Research Institute and Special Investigation Services. After an event known as “the McKinley Massacre”, it becomes clear that cryptids have become a very present danger; no longer staying hidden, nor staying within their expected regions, and even the passive ones are becoming aggressive. Now, Kyra must help her parents and the rest of CRISIS investigate the rash of violent incidents spreading around the globe.
