Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins are on their first leave from the Army. What do enlisted pixies do off base? Try to stay out of trouble--and then find it anyway. Z has tripped over a secret organization and there's no time to go back to the commander. Arbitum is up to something big--and dangerous--and the trio of tiny soldiers are determined to get to the bottom of it. Sneaking into a private chapter meeting of the criminal organization's more disgruntled grunts is just the start. If the pixies want in with the bigwigs, they'll have to convince a few criminal VIPs that they can fill some very big bad-guy shoes like the rest of them. But can they really? Just what exactly will Z and her cousins have to do to prove their "loyalty and dedication to the cause"? And where do the lines of their military oaths lie when the pixies have been toeing so many lines already? It's time for these pixie soldiers to go undercover--unofficially and on their own--to bring their commander the proof they need. How long can the pixies play double-agent? Will they keep all their ducks in a row and secrets in place? Or will getting a little too comfy in their new roles blow the whole thing wide open?
