Openings (Book One of The Pawn's Game‪)‬

Being a Conclave Hunter is not what Jed Morehouse had expected. For ages, the Conclave has hunted supernatural threats of every shape and kind, their existence hidden from the general population. Now, in the 21st century, there are no more dragons to battle and no more vampires to kill. Jed longs to see his name listed alongside those who fought the monsters of legend. He wants to test his mettle against the worst mythology can throw at him.

His wish is granted when mysterious portals begin opening around the globe, tearing through the fabric of reality. A deluge of long forgotten nightmares flood into an unprepared world. Nations fall into chaos as humanity struggles against beings long thought imaginary. Now, Jed must track down those responsible for this cataclysm and uncover why the Conclave failed in their duty to prevent it... if he can survive that long.

Be careful what you wish for.
