The World Alliance for Supernatural Protection—aka WASP—exists to make sure humans never learn that supernatural creatures are more than just stories. When something goes wrong and a human learns the truth, WASP special operatives are sent to make it seem like nothing ever went amiss. WASP special operatives are highly trained to make such accidents vanish. Special Ops 13 is WASP’s secret weapon. When WASP calls on Special Ops 13, something has gone very, very wrong.
