Desperate Measures (The Paracosm Novels)

By Ley Esses

The world is still in denial.Even though every written record that we have from every ancient civilization on the planet claims that, indeed, magic and monsters are real, for some reason, people still insist that they're not. The entire world was once deluded and we're a much more sophisticated species now.An alternate explanation - and my personal theory - might be that magic disappeared five centuries ago, spurring on the need for the Enlightenment Period. Now, magic's back. Which means the rise of certain people with superpower-type magic, and of course those trying to stifle it once again, this time permanently. The tug-of-war is played in the shadows, with most of the world unready to understand the truth. An international corporation of elitists - known only as the RFC - are eager to snuff out this threat to their power once and for all by reaching back into history and modifying the spell that had muted it for the last half a millennium. Those with abilities who refuse to join the RFC have a choice before them: let the world return to normal and rejoin the society that shunned them as crazies, or fight.
