This book is about The Keeper. The Keeper is a magical creature that can control, create and manipulate the four elements. Four creatures were created with The Keeper, called Protectors. The Protectors, along with The Keeper, protect the followers of The Light against those of The Dark.

When The Light's followers, with the help of The Keeper and Protectors had won the last battle, they received power over life and death over The Dark and its followers. The Light spared the followers of The Dark's lives, only giving them a curse. A curse that could only be broken by the destroying of the prophesy that followed.

Born from a fallen star, Alexandra (The Keeper) and her sisters' (Protectors) arrival fulfills
the long foretold prophesy given by The Light. Michael XV, king of the Gorgorians who follow The Dark, awaits the arrival of The Keeper in the hopes of killing it. When he searches and comes up empty-handed, he schemes and plots of ways to get what he wants. Michael XV sends one of his servants, Sky, to get The Keeper. In an attempt to capture Alexandra, one of her sisters, Rosella, is taken instead. It is now Alex's mission to get her sister back and get revenge on the one who'd taken her.
