Gryphons flying former skyscrapers? Wizards battling it out in coffeehouses? Females driving motorcycles with large swords strapped to their backs? All normal sights since the Great Collision happened twenty-six years back.

Well, not regular for everyone. Larissa Miller may have been created following the Great Collision, but as a brief history instructor who lives in the human-only town, she has by no means come into contact with any other race or species, nor provides she wished to. Her life is as regular as it gets-that about Stone Guardian is normally, until one day she walks out of her house and is attacked by a mob of Zombies, only to be saved with a Gargoyle.

Gargoyles trust no-one outside their Clan, but due to a cryptic prophecy, Terak, Leader of the Gargoyles, continues to be watching over the human woman for months. While he can find no reason why the woman continues to be singled out, something about her stirs every protecting instinct within him. When the strike confirms the fact that dangers against her can be found and are real, he convinces Larissa that though their races have never been allies, the best chance of finding why she has been brought into his world is by functioning together.

Throughout their investigation Terak becomes entranced by his little human. But when he discovers why Necromancers need her and the fantastic praise that awaits him if he betrays her, he must choose between the welfare of his Clan and not only Larissa’s life, however the fate of this New Realm as well.
