☾ SYNOPSIS ☽
Like any sane person would, Bez Jackson had always doubted the existence of magic—up until she started having visions at the tender age of twelve. Seemingly out of nowhere, these visions came and began infiltrating her mind with images of a girl she had never seen before simultaneously wielding and being consumed by unfathomable magic power.
She was left to combat these cryptic visions for three years on her own—then fate stepped in and brought her face to face with the girl of her clairvoyant dreams: Snowella Garcia.
Soon after meeting Snowella and two of her closest friends, the four of them are thrust into a new world defying everything they thought they knew about the universe. Then a demigod grants them magical powers and sends them on a mission as humanity’s newest generation of Guardians.
Their task? To protect the descendant of an ancient Guardian from a woman seeking to use him as the vessel for a lost soul. The problem? Bez’s visions link Snowella to the soul this woman is hellbent on unleashing. The most important rule? Keep their Guardian identities secret.
☾ CHARACTERS ☽
BEZ JACKSON: The main MC with the Curse of Clairvoyance. She is determined to figure out what exactly is going on with Snowella—she’s just not sure if she’s willing to do it by any means necessary.
SNOWELLA GARCIA: The secondary MC with the Curse of Duality. She’s been aware of the existence of something dwelling within her core since before she could write her own name. As far as she knows, it’s a dormant power. Unfortunately for her, that just means it needs a catalyst.
ROSE PETULIA: One of Snowella’s closest friends and the kindest soul you’d ever meet. She’s known Snowella since they were five, yet somehow was completely unaware of the extra presence she carried until she was formally exposed to magic.
CORRINTHIA CLINE: Another of Snowella’s closest friends and an artist with a passion for fashion design. Like Rose, she’s known Snowella since they were young, but that’s as far back as her memories go. Strange. It’s almost as if her prior memories have been suppressed.
YUCA: The descendant of a Guardian that lived centuries prior. He is very intelligent, compassionate, and more than willing to lend a hand when asked, but like anyone else, he’s got a few secrets of his own.
THE ORACLE: The (Demi)God of Light and a symbol for righteousness, justice, prosperity, and life. They are often linked to the four elements—water, earth, air, and fire—and is associated with Blessings. But don’t let the fancy title fool you.
