The sixteen year old daughter of a poor woodcutter, Caroline was born into a world where the Twelve were said to be the stuff of legends and children's stories. She had always known the truth - that the Twelve were very real and living amongst humankind even now. But when she ended up at their Temple she didn't quite believe it was real herself. Still, when the Twelve began to appear to her in human form - when they began to teach her their lessons - they changed everything in her life. She began to understand that it was her destiny to be a bridge between the past and the future in a world that was changing too fast. She formed bonds with an ancient clan who kept the ways of the Twelve alive, in hiding and seclusion. Her love for the Twelve deepened into unconditional loving devotion - It was a love that would take her from girlhood into the soul of a young woman. For love of the Twelve, Caroline began to understand, she would do anything...Anything at all.
