The Second War ended, but the ripple effect into the Muggle world couldn't be stopped. Too many Muggles had been killed and as much as the Ministry of Magic had tried, they couldn't contain all the questions and whispers. The family of the victims demanded information, they demanded answers. And while the Ministry never confirmed the existence of magic it became impossible to stop all the whispers.An American group, known as the New Salem Philanthropic Society became active once again. By 2001, governments around the world were swept up into the belief. Ministries all over the world were pressured to turn over their witches and wizards to the Muggle governments. Many countries resisted at first, but one by one they all surrendered.
Save one. One Ministry kept calm and carried on. The United Kingdom is the last safe refuge for witches and wizards. The magic running through the hills and valleys is too old, too strong, and too powerful to be so easily handed over to fanatics. Rather than bowing to another dictator, the Ministry of Magic opened its doors to international witches and wizards and created a new governing body. The Wizengamot was restructured, providing seats to foreign countries. New laws were written. And the primary focus of the Ministry became one of survival and growth. The borders of every magical town and institution have been closed. Travel into the Muggle world is only allowed at certain times to help ensure the safety of witches and wizards. But is it enough to combat the heightened attacks by the New Salem Philanthropic Society? With technology advancing, their attacks have become more measured, more deadly, and far more vicious. From biological warfare, kidnapping, assault, and torture, the New Salem Philanthropic Society will stop at nothing to erradicate the world of magic once and for all.

The New Hunt is set in 2008, ten years following the Second War. And the fate of the magical world is once again up in the air.
