When Sheriff Paul Plowman wakes to find dozens of escaped mythological creatures roaming through the intergalactic city of Fabula Rasa, he is forced into action on his day off. He's able to stop the invasion -- but at a cost. His neighbour, Maurice, is dead and Paul has been forced to kill a unicorn, which is against the honour code of his family. In the aftermath, Paul is tasked with solving where all of these animals came from. He soon meets Daniel Markus, a former interspecies biologist and now zookeeper on Fabula Rasa, who helps him navigate the complex underground world of mythological animal trading. As they delve deeper and deeper into the mystery, attraction blooms. After the danger passes, will there be something more between them than a love of every beast of the earth?
