Bubble boy Will Tuttle lives a boring, friendless life trapped in a sterile Brooklyn apartment, suffering from mysterious allergies no doctor can explain. Until Will learns that his countless allergies have a single, bizarre source—enchants, a society of half-humans who have lived among mankind for generations. Their existence is history’s best-kept secret. Enchants have cleverly kept their tails, scales, claws and feathers hidden from everyone, everyone but Will.
The ability to see enchants makes Will a target. When he's chased through Central Park by a hungry wolf-man, a misfit team of half-human bodyguards is sent in to keep Will Tuttle alive. Their assignment: to help Will overcome his fears and blend into a society that isn’t supposed to exist. When Will stumbles upon a sinister plot that threatens to destroy enchants everywhere, blending in becomes the least of his worries.
Faced with wolf-man attacks, deadly stampedes and carnivorous enchants with a taste for human flesh, Will scrambles to discover who’s forcing enchants to lose their humanity. Can Will find the culprit in time? Or will he have to sacrifice himself to save his new found friends from becoming slaves to their own instincts?
