Rue Jensen is a normal 30-something girl with a normal job. But when the immortal wizard Kai informs her that she is destined to be one of the protectors of the 3 Orbs of Light, Rue is thrown into a whole new world - complete with wizards, assassins, ancient magical relics and the mysterious 3 Orbs themselves - balls of energy infused with the mental, physical and spiritual aspects of the universe. Along with her fellow protectors (the amazingly intelligent Taylor 'Tres' Ressen and the bad-ass fighter Ally "Astrid'' Strider), Rue must travel back to the past and into the future to find the lost orbs before their mysterious assassin enemies do.
