Nothing is ever what it seems in LaLa Land. Throw in magic and it's a new level of weird and dangerous. Production has finished on the action film, FULL FATHOM FIVE. It's up to magical talent agent, Norah and the Wintry's Warriors to destroy all copies of the film to prevent Magdea's chaos from spreading further. Norah's going to have to call in all her favors, and then some, to discover where other prints are hidden. That won't be easy. Frondle's brainwashing may be permanent. Will magical intervention do the trick? Dr. Orlando thinks he can fix him, but it won't be without side effects.

It's the final year for most of the Defenders at the School of Roots and Vines. It's hard to imagine that Sophie is beginning her senior year and planning her wedding to Marcus the following summer. The group still needs to find their 6th Defender in order to save Thicket Hall and prevent the Serpent from being unleashed.

The fight for the survival of the entire Elemental Race is here and despite his worry, Brigham is taking the monster slayer, Halsey Ambrosius to the airport. She's going to face whatever awaits her at the Order of Skrar's headquarters. The fate of the world is hinging on what happens at this meeting. No big deal, right? Halil Aydem, or the creature masquerading inside him, has something to show Halsey. Something he claims will change everything she knows about the world.

Sophie Briggs will have to fight her way out this time but without her elemental gift of life. It's the spring semester of Year Two at the famous School of Roots and Vines. The National Elemental Skills Trials are coming up, and Sophie and her friends are called to represent the school in faraway Colorado. Dark forces and powerful, all-too-familiar enemies are out to kidnap Sophie and steal her elemental powers. They'll stop at nothing to get their revenge.

Winland Underwood wasn't gone long from East Calico Rock, but a lot has changed. The least of which is the citizens were able to capture the Silver Griffin traitor, Erickson, without her. But more refugees keep arriving, and the town is expanding. Erickson wasn't the only threat to everyone's safety. Can the young witch leave them alone while she searches for her mother? Or will a hidden menace move in while she's gone?

It's time Halsey and Brigham to travel back to where the changes all began—the Cliffs of Moher, Ireland. At the very least, the monster hunters should be able to find out what happened to the stolen silver coffin if they follow the clues in person, right? If you have to get something done, sometimes you have to do it all yourself. Even if that means operating outside your Council's orders without permission. The Ambrosius cousins seem to hit one dead end after another. But when one magical door shuts, another always opens.

In Hollywood it's not about what you know, but who you know. Norah Wintry is finding that out. You try running a talent agency full of wizards and shifters. Oh my. Who she knows is starting to pay off when she goes looking for answers about who, or what, is trying to sabotage her clients. But LaLa Land operates on a pecking order. Will anyone tell her what she wants to know, or will they run her in circles? One thing is for sure. No one wants to reveal who UrbanWurm is or where he is. Too risky. And it's more than a juicy role that's on the line.

Winland Underwood may have met her match. Is Fang a friend or foe? Even his arctic fox is more than she seems, and Winland's getting mixed signals. From everywhere. Now she's one step closer to tracking down the warrior witch, and the good-looking Wizard at her side is only too eager to help. But can the young Light Elf sense the danger creeping toward the wards around her town—from three states away?

Winland Underwood is trying to hide in plain sight. Not easy for a witch with a storied past. The wards and the crystal are back up and running. The residents of East Calico Rock are protected, and the town is safe once again. What does that mean for Winland Underwood? Next on the to-do list is to look for the Custodian, Hector Fang. And if she finds him, ask about her long-dead mother. Like, is she really dead? What else does he know about the magical history of the town?

A battle is won but the challenges for Winland Underwood and the residents of East Calico Rock have just begun. Can the old Fixer's daughter keep the hidden magicals safe? It's not easy relocating to a ghost town in Arkansas. It's even harder when the city sits on top of a forgotten underground lair. But even that can be handled as long as the town remains a secret. A magical gem is discovered by the teens that can give them everything they desire. That can't be a bad thing, right? For a city that's trying to stay hidden, it can be.

A monster that doesn't exist in any mythology or any of their ancient lore has suddenly appeared. A creature so monstrous, they have no idea how to fight it. The beast can even take on the form of anyone they know and love. Well, that's just wrong. There's more trouble on the horizon. Has the Order of Skrár been an Order of blood humans this whole time? Were they recording all the history of magicals and monsters without a single elemental catching on that they couldn't be trusted?

Norah tries to get to the set to locate Frondle but is barred at the gate and given an unceremonious exit. Someone doesn't want her getting too close. Good thing she's not the only one trying. You knew our favorite witch had more than one plan. Will Cleo get in and get the answers? Is there something sinister going on with the movie? Norah needs to prepare for whatever is coming their way from this film. It hasn't gone unnoticed that even the magical community is going onset and coming out brainwashed.

Trouble has the Pixie MPs in its sights, and their fun-filled days are about to take a sinister turn. Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins are finally embracing duty and honor in the military. Okay, so it took a minute. They have a newfound purpose in what they do every day. They'll need it when they're thrust into a dangerous world of espionage and intrigue.

Norah Wintry is juggling movie stars with special skills, like shifting into tiger mode, at her Los Angeles talent agency with sinister backlot treachery. Projects in the Hollywood pipeline aren't what they seem, and Norah wants to protect her very special clients. That's not easy when she can't give a good reason to prevent them from signing on to the very lucrative job.

The truth behind the creation of the mother of all monsters has to come out at some point. It always does. The only question is whether or not you survive it. Halsey Ambrosius just didn't think it would be revealed to the other elemental clans before she could tell Brigham. She might be the Alpha Hunter, but she has no idea what that means, other than fighting crazy powerful monsters that are new on the scene.

Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins thought things would be more exciting since they were now Pixie MPs. Not so far. They're stationed in a cramped little office in a military police station on post doing mundane, boring tasks. Answering phones, directing calls, and taking care of paperwork. There's a method to the badness. They have to prove they can be responsible when they're not battling magical threats alongside Alpha Team.

Things are heating up in LaLa Land. Nothing makes tongues wag faster than rumors of a cursed movie set. These aren't special effects. Someone or something magical is at play. The attacks on suppliers of Pink Fairy continue. Norah needs to track down who's responsible and put an end to the problems for good. Domenico is safely hidden away deep below the surface of the Ocean, but Norah can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. She needs to get information about what's going on and the best way to get information about Domenico is to ask a bunch of criminals. That's easier said than done.

In East Calico Rock, there's always one more emergency to be handled by Winland Underwood. Unfortunately, this time the emergency is her mother. Just when Winland thought her mom was starting to settle into life in the refugee town, danger strikes once again. This time, Winland and the crimson heart are strong enough together to deal with it themselves. But are the consequences of Winland's new power too much for Leeland to handle?

Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders. Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up—will Sophie have to take sides? Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself. Does he have to go it alone?

Winland Underwood was right! Her mother is alive, rescued, and returned to the Ozark kemana. The Warrior Witch may be back, but the mother-daughter reunion Winland dreamed of isn't what it's cracked up to be. Especially now that they're both dealing with the fallout.
