   Summary

   Ryland Grace unfortunately became important at work. His boss, Director Eva Stratt, moved him back to the states right after a three-month sabbatical to help Ava Ironchild with a strange issue. Her sanctuary has been struggling with a recent arrival, and someone needs to step in. Grace, for a reason he doesn't understand whatsoever, was the first person Eva thought of to deal with this... at least he gets to see his old friends?
