What is DOMA?

DOMA stands for "Department of Magic," and it is a secret government agency that was set up to track and detain magical creatures and any other superhuman aspects that exist on Earth.  Very few within the government are aware of its existence, and the agency relies on stealthy means of funding, such as the Department of Homeland Security.

The first book is titled "Betrayal of Magic".

Here is the official book description:

Cadan Johnson lived a seemingly ordinary life. He was on the soccer and cross country teams and had a loving family. But one thing about the Johnsons made them very unordinary- they could perform magic.
When a mysterious spell on his school counselor backfires, Cadan is faced with the realization that everything he thought he knew about his family has been a lie.  He leaves his home to search out the identities of his real parents, but before he can discover the truth, he is tracked down by another group of magic-wielders, this time sent by the government.
The top-secret Department of Magic was set up in the 1930s when the U.S. government became aware of the existence of mages and fantastical creatures.  For the last eighty years, the agency has been commissioned with searching out and detaining these magical beings, and making sure everyone else believes they are no more than myth.
Now a detainee within the Department, Cadan quickly realizes the truth – that not everything in this world is quite as it seems.  The Femme Fatales, a world famous all-female pop group is actually a troupe of fairies.  And Tyler Knox, the teen heartthrob, is secretly an elf who has had to alter his ears before appearing in movies.
Now a rookie agent, Cadan begins to train with his new team of misfit operatives, among them one boy with four arms who is afraid of the dark, another with black wings, and an elf with anger management issues.  The group fights constantly, their training sessions are disasters, and top it off, the leader of the team hates him. But when one of the leaders initiates a plan to destroy the Department, the only thing that stands in his way is Cadan and his ragtag band.  With the fate of the Department at stake, will they be able to stop the rogue agent and his forces?
