Nyssa Hunter's parents were beaten, taken away, and supposedly killed by the so called glorious Sentinels under orders of President Markestein. President Markestein is praised in the country of Arstensia for orchestrating the Aeredale Peace Treaty, ending the fatal and century old war between Arstensia and Blarstum. Nyssa, like her kind, see no heroism in Markestein's actions. She understands that he isn't who he says he is - that he's a murderer. So what, if her parents were exposed to radiation? So what, if that caused a sub species of Ardents to be created? So what, if they were different and had inhumane abilities? So what? Nyssa carries a vendetta for revenge with her every step. She will stop at nothing to avenge her and kill the murder of so many more innocent children. In order to achieve her life's goal, she must go undercover as a Sentinel in-training and take care of the President as one of his personal guards. Series of events take place causing Nyssa to fall in love with the one person she can't, the President's son. Nyssa becomes torn between her two desires and lives and is forced to choose a side. Will she choose to side with the son of her life long enemy? Or will she stick with her blood and continue with her murderous ways?
