12 Zodiac Houses. 13 Guardians. Hundreds of Guilds under their Command and undocumented Outcast Guilds that refuse to label themselves as anything other than family. Tara is the 13th Guardian. The Guardian of Hope. She has the affinity for one of the most powerful gifts that could be bestowed upon any Guardian. The power to bring people Hope is not to be taken for granted. Tara is also on the run. But how long can she run for before the stars catch up with her? With her three sprite Companions accompanying her the four of them run away from the life they once had and toward a life they never imagined having, but the Dodeca Council will not tolerate a Rogue Guardian with no control over her own magic power and they will not make her escape from the Guardian Estate easy for her. But what happens when she finds sanctuary with the one magic Guild that swears they will keep her safe no matter what? Will she be able to allow herself to trust fellow comrades again? Or will they eventually turn on her like all the rest? And does she have enough Hope to keep her going on the path of Light, or will her heart succumb to the Darkness?
