"As Thresi walked down the street, she heard a familiar squeal of joy. She followed the sound to an alleyway. Sparks poked her head out from inside Thresi's dress in curiosity. In the alley stood her sister, Aleina, with Otto. They seemed to be flirting, but just as they were about to kiss, Otto took a red knife and stabbed Aleina in the chest. Aleina cried out in shocked anguish as her limp body fell to the dark, cold cobblestones. A low, evil laugh came from Otto as his green eyes turned a dark, almost blood red. He bent over, pulled the knife out, and licked the blade. In horror, Sparks ducked back inside the folds of Thresi's dress. Thresi screamed." Thresi, a twelve-year-old girl with wild brown hair and deep blue eyes, embarks on a journey of discovery, friendship, and fellowship that will change her life forever as she learns her destiny ... within the Guardianship.
