O único modo de ver Jesse novamente seria estar morta, assim como ele! As pessoas tendem a chamar pelos entes queridos que já faleceram. Às vezes, a alma ou o espírito certo ouve o chamado, mas, às vezes, os Ladrões de Almas estão ouvindo. Uma Sentinela deve proteger as almas humanas dos Ladrões de Almas, que as vendem para uma duende diabólica chamada Azura. Ela come as almas para continuar forte e poderosa. Meu nome é Leila e eu fui nomeada pela minha irmã Lia, uma Sentinela da Terra. Minha missão é derrotar os Ladrões de Almas e destruir Azura com a ajuda de uma Sentinela da Terra de dezenove anos chamado Max e sua irmã, April. Nós três recebemos poderes especiais que nos ajudarão a vencer.
