The Agents of the Menagerie fight to protect the world when a supernatural crisis occurs . The group includes Eve the mother of vampires, Clay the shapeshifter older than time, Squire the hobgoblin, Prince Ceridwen of Fey, and changeling teen Danny. Malevolent creatures roam free as a red mist surround the city cutting off communication with the outside.
The Menagerie, led by enigmatic Mr. Doyle tries to locate the most powerful mage that ever lived, Lorenzo Sangveloce, before the enemy can gain access to arcane supremacy. The Fey Morrigan wants to bring the nimble man into the world so that they can jointly rule over humanity and faery. The battle between good and evil has begun.
