Maxwell Diego-Quinn. Coordinates Director, leader of the secret, cross-dimensional Space-Time Investigative League, and general pain in her ass. A knot of anxiety worked its way through her midriff and into her throat. His handsome face had been more desperate than she’d ever seen when he had shoved her into the time vessel, tossing the lantern and papers in after her, with no explanation. He’d sealed and activated the machine so quickly there had been no chance of escape. The trip was short, giving her no time to read the note. She had to get to a safe place, and soon.
Once she landed, skidding on her butt across the blessedly empty Shanghai sidewalk—at least he’d planned that correctly; he was after all, a coordinates master—she’d gone into immediate Time League mode. Scour location, mark destination, and get your ass out of there before anyone noticed.
But he’d sent her—her, a dark-skinned, mixed-race descendant of Old India and Britain, into Alt-Shanghai on a covert, emergency mission.
Good planning there, Max. She wouldn’t stand out at all.
Chills skittered across her flesh from more than the wind. She pulled out his note again and stared at the four words.
Find me. Help me.

SERIES:
THE AWAKENING
Shifters, dragons, witches, vampires, mermaids, and more – all products of genetic experimentation by an ancient race – have been in hiding ever since their makers put themselves into stasis in advance of a worldwide catastrophe, leaving their creations and “lesser” humans to their fates.
Now those in stasis are awakening, ready to re-establish their world domination. But the world has changed in the tens of thousands of years since they were in control, and the creatures—along with their half-human, “mutt” offspring— aren’t going to give up without a fight.
