*prequel to Protector Circle* The Protector Circle is a very serious and exclusive group of people trained to protect both humans and supernaturals from each other. Only certain people are chosen, and that's determined whether or not they develop a special ability. All Protectors have to be quite strong and agile, and if they're not, they have to go through a lot of training to make sure they are. So when seventeen-year-old Poppy McCormick has a hard time being the best she can be, she has to be trained by one of the strongest Protectors around her age. No matter how cold and reserved he may seem.
