Nightcap is not your ordinary bar. Hidden from the world in the middle of the American midwestern desert, this watering hole caters not to travelers and tourists, but to demons, genies, vampires, sorcerers, and all other manner of supernatural creatures.
When career bartender (and ordinary human) Lucas Kadesh takes over ownership, he instantly finds himself a fish out of water as he tries to use his everyday bar skills to solve the existential problems of creatures that up until now he believed were fictitious. This includes playing referee to a magic-using couple that have been married since the Salem Witch Trials, or trying to coach a succubus that's lousy at hitting on men.
However, Lucas's teenage daughter is thriving in this new environment! Young Tabitha Kadesh has befriended all of the bar's regulars and her father couldn't be happier that his daughter is learning life lessons from people that have been alive for thousands of years.
But when an ancient evil surfaces from hibernation and sets its sights on Tabitha, the menagerie of fairytale drunks that call Nightcap home must band together and use their combined talents to protect her.
T’rin-Intel is a dimly-lit orange giant star sitting at the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy. It has twenty planets, two asteroid fields, and a Kuiper Belt along its perimeter. It’s also been home to the human race for as long as our species has existed.
At least, that’s what’s written in the history books.
When Niles T. Nilby, an average nobody from one of the worlds orbiting this orange giant, learns that his ancestors actually traveled here centuries ago from a strange planet called Earth, he and his friends embark on a quest across the vast and fascinating T’rin-Intel system to uncover the ancient mystery.
How did their ancestors traverse the impossible distance between the stars? Why did they eliminate almost all evidence of their true origins from history after they arrived? Why has nobody else from Earth come to check on their distant cousins?
Nilby and his friends, who include a psychic, a drunk, an elderly martial arts expert, and a teenage prodigy, must solve the mystery of Earth before they are discovered by the Agency, an ancient and ruthless assassination guild whose sole purpose is to kill anyone that learns the secret of Earth.

ANOLON:
The fourth planet from T’rin-Intel is a humid swamp wasteland, filled with run-down people and barely-functioning equipment.

When Milly wakes up on the floor in a strange room and finds a small grey alien lifeform staring down at her, she is understandably terrified. Aliens are real and she has just been abducted!
Or so she believes.
It turns out that these little grey men aren’t extraterrestrials at all, but human beings from sixty-three thousand years in the future. They are anthropologists and they’ve come back in time to study us, their ancient ancestors.
Milly is soon put at ease and is even given a tour of the UFO. She meets the entire ‘alien’ crew, makes a few fast friends among them, some instant enemies, and a few of them are so strange that she can’t make heads or tails out of their responses.
Unfortunately, while Milly is being given this guided tour, a malevolent creature from the future has gone back in time and interfered with history at key points, resulting in the complete extermination of the human race.
Milly and the eleven crewmembers aboard the UFO are now the only human beings left in the universe. They must travel across the timeline, try to repair the damage done, or else all of humanity will never have existed....
Nilby and his friends continue their journey across the vast T’rin-Intel system, unlocking more of the ancient program and learning about the mystery of Earth with each planet they visit.
Meanwhile, the ruthless Agency pursues, growing ever closer and determined to eliminate their targets before any more information can be uncovered.
In this volume:
PYRENEES:
The mountain planet of Pyrenees is number fourteen in the T’rin-Intel star system, and the birthplace of Tayah Saunders. Almost as soon as they land, Tayah’s psychic abilities begin going haywire. For the first time in her life, she finds herself with the ability to control her visions of the future. Will this finally help her understand where this mysterious gift comes from?
Teague is utilizing every trick he knows to locate their targets while Juno is trying to keep him distracted long enough to get a warning out to her sister.
SAVANO:
The system’s fifth planet is a desert wasteland with scattered cities residing at the barely-habitable poles. Collecting the portion of the Earth file here means Nilby and his friends get to enjoy the hospitality of Moseley Wallace’s ancestral home, but they must also endure one of this star system’s most unusual and deadly oddities.
Juno finally encounters a member of Nilby’s party, but the rendezvous doesn’t go quite as she hoped.
DESTREE:
The totally inhospitable gas giant of Destree is T’rin-Intel’s nineteenth planet. It’s also the headquarters of the Agency. Toler, the leader of the assassin guild, is frustrated by how long the hunt is taking and decides to become personally involved in the search.
Can Nilby and his friends continue to elude the Agency in their own backyard? Can Juno maintain her cover with the boss watching her every move?
