Have you ever considered how your life might be if magic was an everyday part of it? What if your heritage included a line of powerful "good" witches who battled demons and the powerful dark knights who threatened to disrupt the balance of power?

In mythology, the pseudo-creature has the head of a lion, body of a goat, and a serpent's tail spliced together into a freak of nature without a purpose or plan. Under the watchful eye of a scientist in a lab, it is a genetic anomaly whose presence exists as a contradiction to mother nature herself. When Catherine Masters, a tenured risk manager for one of North Carolina's largest and most successful healthcare systems, begins to suspect that everything is not as it seems, she enlists the help of her longtime friend and pharmacy director, Dr Ryan Allen, to sort through past and present conspiracies that identify facts from fiction and separate lies from the truth. After they uncover a terrible secret involving murder and corruption at the highest level of the corporate command, they find their lives and the lives of those they love in compromise and that everything at the hospital is not as it seems. After several prominent physicians die under suspicious circumstances, they fear no one is safe from the sins of the past. They enlist the aid of the FBI, only to discover the FBI may be collaborating with the conspirators.

Will they find their way through the smoke and mirrors of a corporate structure where nothing is as it seems? Or, will they learn that everyone is expendable to promote a secret agenda hidden in plain sight between lies that span over fifty years?
