For 3,000 years, they have shielded us from harm in the gutters and
alleys of every city on the globe. Now, the Sentinels of Right
confront a lethal threat to their existence, at the hands of the
humans that they have sworn to protect. In order to safeguard their
human wards, the guardians must also choose between renouncing
their pledge to refrain from integrating themselves into the
worldly culture of their charges or forfeiting their ethereal
abilities to protect them. Betrayed by traitors within their
circle, the governing Sentinel councils plot to resolve their
dilemma, while balancing their avowed adherence to the holy Creed
of the Councils against the evolving morals and values of the
society in which they operate. It is a secret, unseen world pitted
against the mortal determination of a pedantic human culture, with
the future of both at stake. Caught in the heart of this struggle
is a by-the-book cop, a blind girl in love with one of the
invisible Sentinels and a gutter-dwelling street Sentinel. Each
sees the quandary from his or her unique perspective, and each must
set aside personal biases in order to join forces and repel the
threat that is directed at all of them. Opposing the human cadre
are Sentinels entrusted with key positions of power, who,
simultaneously, view their mission through their own tint of
reality. Both sides are focused on the identical objective: to
protect the world from the ultimate moral challenges and defeat
those that would destroy the fabric of their society. The Council
of the Pure must impose its will on a society that is governed
solely by consensus and agreement, in order to overcome the peril
that it faces. They also must do so, knowing that, to do so will
mean the destruction of their society as it currently exists. Their
choice is one of self preservation and the loss of their human
proteges, or self destruction and the salvation of their mortal
dependents. But the mortal force that confronts them has uncovered
secrets that will alter the future of the Sentinels irrevocably. It
is a deadly game of chess that plays itself out on the streets and
in the malls and offices of a quiet midwestern city.
