The series centers on a centuries-old elite force known as the Camelot Corps, which has protected ancient secrets until they were needed by the rest of the world.

Sophomore outings are difficult by any stretch of the imagination. If a creative team has done a good job in the introductory chapter, the second installment must build on it yet still be different enough to keep readers engaged.
