Mercury Hale

Mercury Hale is not a hero. Not in his mind. He's happy spending his late nights slicing his way through monstrous astral fiends, using a weapon imbued with a mysterious power, at the behest of the secretive Procyon Foundation. It's a strange way to earn a paycheck, but hey, he's good at it. The problem is, things are getting worse. More attacks. More public exposure. None of which Procyon wants. When he tries to get to the bottom of the mess, Mercury is confronted by a tightly-guarded secret about Procyon -its true purpose, and what that means for the fate of the world. Worse, Mercury is not who he thinks he is. And he's not alone.

Mercury Hale is out of a job. That's not stopping him from fighting crime in San Camillo — for a fee, of course. His much simpler yet financially unstable situation is interrupted when Procyon Foundation comes to him with a problem: one of their top Tracking specialists is missing. The good news? Mercury may have found a way to get back into his employer's good graces. The bad news? A new breed of monster is terrorizing his city. Couple that challenge with the emergence of a rival force to Procyon that wants astral fiends for experimentation, and the appearance of a mysterious stranger who's traveled across dimensions, Mercury has his hands full juggling dangers — and grappling with a lovesick heart. And if he drops anything, he could lose it all.

Mercury Hale is not your average guy. Sure, he's got a full-time job, and he likes pizza as much as anyone - and maybe too much. Catch is, he spends his late nights slaying monsters. San Camillo needs a defender from encroaching darkness. They've got Mercury Hale and his expanding team of allies, run by the shadowy Procyon Foundation. If he can unearth secrets long hidden, and stay one step ahead of his enemies, he'll be all set ...As long as he can get off his couch.
