Description

There's no better place to spend the day than in Bulfinche's Pub, the bar at the end of the rainbow. That is unless it's April 1st, when the world's Tricksters compete for the honor of the Lord High Trickster. No prank is too big or small, and no target is safe. Rather than be trickster fodder, most of the staff and patrons have wisely fled NYC and gone into hiding until the contest is over.

This year, a patron named Hex's future self, possesses his body in the present, but it's no prank. In mere hours, a Sidhe Queen will seize a Trident missle. After learning that a forerly unknown foreign power has a door into the American heartland, and a nuclear warhead, the US military will launch a preemptive first strike. Faerie is destroyed. The surviving Gentry escape to Earth, as does mystic fallout, aka Nuclear Magic. Because of it, magiks twist and darken. Gods are driven mad. Monsters no longer stay in the shadows. Would governments crumble. Millions die, including Paddy Moran. Bulfinche's Pub is destroyed.

This future must never come to pass. Hex has come back with a plan - have Paddy and the gang put things right before they go bad. Unfortunately, not even Paddy can rally his divine and mystic friends, all of whom think it's part of some elaborate trickster prank. That leaves a handful of tricksters against the US Air Force, Mab's Faerie Army and the mystic might of rival Faerie king Oberon.

It's April Fool's Day at the bar at the end of the rainbow, and no one is safe from the pranksters, tricksters and aliens that plan to wreck havoc.
