Willow is a guardian, an elf with strong magic, and she works for a human family during a time when most elves are kept separate from their human counterparts. Willow keeps the house safe, for the family she works for has more than one secret hidden within. Not that far away, a government agency is hunting down a loose Adept. Adepts are elves that have magic that is even stronger than a guardian, and humans fear them above all else. As it turns out, Willow may be hiding a secret even more dangerous than the one she was hired to protect...
