Francesca DeTomassa—Fran to her friends—has it all: she's the daughter of a local politician, she's won scholarships to college and law school, and now, in her final year and about to graduate, she even has the internship she wants at a film production studio in California. But Fran has a secret—she is a sworn member of the Circle, an order who protect and promote the Light. Fran is bound to them not only by oath and law, but also by blood, soul, and love to the person who is the Circle's focal point, the Wielder. And the Circle has a dogma—We do things not because they are easy, but because they are right. Fran accepts that sometimes love must be sacrificed for the greater good, with the hope of "someday." When Fran realizes that the Dark that touches the woman she loves is something that only the Wielder can truly handle, she knows that someday is now, bringing with it a choice to be made. But is she strong enough to choose what is ultimately the greatest good, not for her, but for everyone? JD Glass is the lead singer and plays guitar in The Charm Alarm.
