It follows the story of Parker-Rose, a teenage girl who discovers she is a Spirit-Child, human children blessed with the powers of the Spirits.

Synopsis
Parker-Rose would seem like a normal girl to most people. But really, she was not like anyone else.
She was pulled from the comfort of her home after realising she was a Spirit-Child, a human child blessed with magical powers. She now has to work with her allies who also have these abilities against a god-like being who wishes to rule the world.
But not only does she have to discover what she really is, but she also needs to discover who she is on the inside.
Characters
Spirit-Children
Parker-Rose - The main protagonist of the story, most chapters are focused on her point of view. She is the Spirit-Child of Paaka, the Spirit of Aqua. She has an energetic personality and will stop at nothing to help others, but she can be a little reckless and make rash decisions. She is currently dating Alana.
Alana - The deuteragonist of the story, several chapters are focused on her point of view. She thought she was a regular human until she discovered she was the Spirit-Child of Chara, the Spirit of Feeling. She is very bright and optimistic yet calm at all times, but she is quite naΓ―ve. She is currently dating Parker-Rose.
Solace- One of the main heroes in the story. They are the Spirit-Child of Aatma, the Spirit of Touch. They are a mentor for Parker and they have a history with Magnus. Their hair changes colour with emotion. They are quite quiet and likes plants, but pretty happy-go-lucky and kind. They are Transgender (Male-to-Non-Binary).
Other Good Characters
Maxis - Alana's brother. When Alana and Parker had to escape from Animonsters and took one down himself, he felt bad about not being able to say bye before they went on their adventure.
Villains
Maksimus - The main antagonist of the story, he wishes to take over Earth and rule it. He has no remorse for what he did thousands of years ago, and he wishes to try again now that the Spirits are weakened. But the true reason he wants to rule is because he feels he is a higher power that must fix the imperfect world.
Magnus - The secondary antagonist of the story, he is the Spirit-Child of Maksimus, and will do anything for him to succeed. He was the one who manipulated Parker to free Maksimus, and then left her to be destroyed by the Animonsters. He is tough and likes being a leader, but also was manipulated himself by his father.
Animonsters - Monster-like animals that were created by Maksimus. They are not one species, more like several into one category. This includes Ghostlings, Bloodshadows, Dragoons, (add more soon)
Animonsters
Ghostie - A former member of Maksimus's Animonster army, who escaped in hopes of leaving all the war behind. He bumped into Parker and the crew, who he stayed with and helped them win the battle. He is quite meek and shy, but also is quite brave sometimes! His army name was Ghostling T (Ghost T, for short).
Story
(Disclaimer: The novel is a W.I.P, therefore this section won't be complete. This section contains spoilers.)
Parker-Rose appeared as a flash of light in the sky on the beach, and began to fall into the water. Maxis and Alana were the only ones who noticed this, and Maxis tried to reach and catch her. He grabbed onto her but they fell into the ocean. Parker woke up with retrograde amnesia. When they were allowed to leave the hospital, she was found to have no family. So she stayed with the Kate family.
Two years later. Tomorrow was Parker's birthday, but she wasn't thrilled. While she is walking to school, she gets lost. Then two boys find her, and take her belongings. They were going to hurt her when she somehow controlled water. They let her run off. She was in her bed that night, thinking. Magnus found her, who came in as a snake. He explained she was a Spirit-Child, and she had to come with him and try to free his father. She agreed and they jumped out the window.
Parker and Magnus travel to the Temple. They enter it. Magnus explains what they need to find - a magic stand. They were there when a Dragoon appeared. She used her powers to distract it. They found the stand, and Magnus told Parker to place her hand on it. The room began to shake and Maksimus appeared. Magnus revealed to have been trying to free him. She was abandoned there. Luckily Solace saw it all and saved her.
Parker woke up in the middle of the forest. Solace told her she was going to be going home. They arrived there and the Kate family was happy. They had their birthday party like they were going to. She fell asleep and tried to imagine her old memories. She then had a dream of Solace rescuing her from the temple, and of Magnus talking about a book that was in Alana's possession. She then woke up to a monster-filled house.
