Discount Armageddon
IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR
Cryptid, noun:
1. Any creature whose existence has been suggested but not proven
scientifically. Term officially coined by cryptozoologist John E. Wall
in 1983.
2. That thing that's getting ready to eat your head.
3. See also: "monster."
The Covenant of St. George was founded to uphold one simple ideal:
anything that was not present on the Ark — anything they deemed
"unnatural" — needed to be destroyed. Monsters. Creatures of myth and
legend. All of them would be wiped from the Earth in the name of Man's
dominion. Unfortunately for them, not all the monsters agreed with this
plan... and neither did all the human beings.
After their rather abrupt departure from the Covenant, Alexander and Enid Healy found themselves alone in the world, but with a simple
mission of their own: to protect the cryptids of the world from those
who would harm them without just cause. It was a cause that would
eventually claim both their lives, leaving their children, and their
childrens' children, to take up the fight. Now in the modern day, their
descendants struggle to stay beneath the Covenant's radar, while
defending the cryptids from humanity — and humanity from the cryptids.
Seanan McGuire
Seanan McGuire is a native Californian, which has resulted in her being exceedingly laid-back about venomous wildlife, and terrified of weather. When not writing urban fantasy (as herself) and science fiction thrillers (as Mira Grant), she likes to watch way too many horror movies, wander around in swamps, record albums of original music, and harass her cats.
Seanan is the author of the October Daye, InCryptid, and Indexing series of urban fantasies; the Newsflesh trilogy; the Parasitology duology; and the "Velveteen vs." superhero shorts. Her cats, Lilly, Alice, and Thomas, are plotting world domination even as we speak, but are easily distracted by feathers on sticks, so mankind is probably safe. For now.
InCryptid
These urban fantasy adventures focus on the Price family of cryptozoologists as they seek to protect the cryptids of the world from humanity... and humanity from the cryptids of the world.
InCryptid consists of thirteen books, and the series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
