As team Theta's case load returns to normal, new challenges arise. When Micah starts having issues, he relies on his friends to see him through; unfortunately, the world doesn't stand still to let a person catch their breath. To start with, Micah's boss overlooks a few details; Mehkayo might mean well, but he's not quite as helpful as he hopes, and Sierra has no idea what to do. With a new apprentice and old nightmares, will Theta be able to hold it together while everything changes, or is the end of their team near at hand?Costly GainSierra, Mehkayo, and Micah are a team of sorron officers; S.R.I. teams consist of a sorron, an officer, and a lure. The teams are tasked with arresting offensive magic users, or maniacs, by assessing the victim profile and setting their lure up to catch them. Their work brings them in contact with some of the worst sorts in society. Relying on each other and trusting their fellows, Theta does what it can to change the world for the better, one arrest at a time.
