Winter Owens was living a perfectly ordinary life until the day she went antique shopping. Wandering the endless shelves and adventures of time from long ago, she comes across an ancient pendant. Intrigued, she purchases it, but on her walk home, the pendant glows, emanating the light of the legendary Phoenix Spirit who reveals that she's found the long lost Jewel of Ashes, and that it was up to Winter to return it to the Crypt of Resurrection before the full moon the following week. Otherwise, the fate of the world would be at peril... Nothing like an ancient curse, an epic journey, and one fashionable pendant to spice up your boring life, right?
