There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.

These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others that have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.

These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.

***

After what felt like a lifetime in the sewers, Inspector Max Dalton would have thought he'd seen everything. He would have been wrong. When his trainees discover something inexplicable in the muck, life changes radically for all of them, including Max's granddaughter, Gwen.

News of their discovery gets out and bounty hunters invade the tunnels beneath the city, forcing Max's cooperation in their fruitless search.

With life and love and liberty in the balance, Gwen will need help from an unexpected source to evade those looking to capture her new friend.
