When the gods of today took over, the gods of old had no choice but to save their creations by placing them in a realm where their magic could still flourish. They named this realm, Ceres. Xavia Cole is a sorcerer; just one of many whose ancestry drew from Ceres. Adopted into the House of Willem when her parents died as a child, she has been living a modest life as Guardian to the Gate of Ceres and holding a false title as secretary at the agency her foster father runs while managing his otherworldly affairs. When suddenly an old family feud between the houses of Willem and Meyer starts to spill over on mortal streets and into the agency, Xavia is now forced to marry a member of her family's enemy to avoid a civil war for them all.
