The Arcadia Project

by Mishell Baker

First published 2050

Millie Roper thought her career in film was over. Cynical and struggling with borderline personality disorder, she never expected recruiters from a clandestine organization to appear at her door. The Arcadia Project monitors the delicate relationship between Hollywood's entertainment industry and the realm of Fairyland. When magical beings cross into our world, someone must keep the peace. Millie finds herself thrust into missions that seem impossible, where one wrong move could trigger catastrophic consequences. The fate of both worlds hangs in the balance, and her disability becomes both obstacle and unexpected asset. As she navigates deadly assignments and supernatural politics, Millie discovers that saving the world requires confronting not just external threats, but her own inner demons.
