Description
Jessalyn Squalorwinde is a seemingly ordinary teenage girl who lives with her grandmother, attends high school, and loves to draw sketches in her free time. Jessalyn's ordinary life is never the same one day when she learns from her grandmother, Josephine, that she is actually a Centurion, a half immortal warrior who can rid the world of the notorious, vile, subhuman demon species called Emmons, henchmen of the presumed centuries deceased Shadow King. Theorin Valen. Josephine also gives Jessalyn a powerful pendant necklace upon her birthday with instructions to never take it off. But as Josephine leaves for work, she is abducted by demonic creatures, who learn Jessalyn's whereabouts, dispatching more of the vile henchmen to attack while Jessalyn is alone in the apartment. In a nick of time, Jessalyn is rescued by a handsome fellow male Centurion by the name of Kassius Shorwoode and his friends, wisecracking Rippa Connelly, and the fierce, but beautiful Jayde Masumoto. The group brings Jessalyn along with them to their home and headquarters, Kingdom Place, presided over by the headstrong but kindhearted Henri Basque, their mentor and father figure. As Jessalyn began training under the roof of Kingdom Place, she unlocks more of her abilities with the help of Kassius, even falling for the vain, but humble male Centurion. Under Kassius's guidance, the group makes a daring rescue to save Jessalyn's grandmother from the sinister Theorin, but their weapons may not be enough, for wits will be tested and darkest secrets revealed.
