Learn how four young heroes unite with The Essence, overseers of the four corners of the world, to withstand the forces of human and otherworldly evils so that they could contend with the mission at hand: to help the people of Earth build character. . . Raised in a town filled with magical beings, Kari often wondered why she possessed no special abilities or gifts. She had no idea that her real family had been searching for her for eleven years. Their fateful meeting happened by accident, thus sending Kari, her uncle, and two aunts, on a series of adventures. With the help of the Tressels, (of Tressel Tree Woods), their chatty horses, and other magical friends, the four youths overcome each challenge they face and find their new lives together one big surprise after another. ______________________________________________________________________________
