In a land filled with magic, this story focuses on Taylor, a girl with otherworldly beauty and a mind which absorbs information at an incredible capacity. But that is not all; Taylor also possess magic, even if she doesn't fully understand it, the ability of the Hidden; an ancient Order of Magicians who created a land that only the outcasts, (thieves, beggars and such) could ever find. A land where the very air you breathe is magic and the land listens to your thoughts.
Taylor's lack of understanding of her abilities as one of the Hidden manifests itself in such a way that her power leaks from her pores, seeking justice in its wake, and calling itself by the name Ghost. With a mantra to rival Robin Hood's 'Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor', Taylor protects those much weaker than herself in any given situation. But could this lead to her doom?
