Alcott was a Guardian that failed to be everything his Word Speaker needed and it got him cast out of her world. Anger and betrayal pushed him over the edge. Rather than behaving like the good witch he was, he put up a fight. He struck a bargain with a virtual God to remain outside his book so he could not only train to be the best Guardian, but hand pick his next Word Speaker. Kellie loved living in New Orleans; the city fostered everything magical and it allowed her to safely be who she wanted to be and allowed her imagination to soar. Despite being immersed in magic herself, she isn’t prepared when a man appears out of the blue and tells her she’s a Word Speaker destined to pull life from books and fight in a war. In love with magic being real, she embraces her destiny with open arms, even if Alcott doesn't appear as interested in her. When Alcott picks Kellie their connection rocks through them both quickly and like a storm. The pair have no problems adjusting to one another and learning what it takes to be the best force the side of good might have in the upcoming war. But when the dark side takes fate into its own hands, the pairs connection and powers will be put to the test. If they’re going to survive they must decide if what they have is strong enough to bring to life.
