Saint Nicholas. The Sandman. The Tooth Fairy. The Easter Bunny. Mother Goose. The Boogeyman. The Man in the Moon. Real, real, real. Every one of them is real for you as long as you believe in them, but even if you don't, magic is becoming manifest in the world. Childhood legends, fairytale figures, mythological beings and even modern superheroes are arising.

The Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Gaelic, all other pantheons? Real. Quetzalcoatl and Anansi, Merlin and the Avatar? Real as well. The Fairy Godmother, the Big Bad Wolf, the Grim Reaper and the Leprechaun -- you guessed it, they're out there.

The Earth will never be the same again, and immortals and mortals and magical creatures alike are becoming embroiled in the war between the virtues and vices of the world. The Man in the Moon and the Boogeyman are each recruiting to their cause, and both sides have to give it all they've got if they want to tip the balance. With the darker side of human nature already clashing so dramatically with the light, nobody can say who will prevail.
