As a young girl I fantasized about my happily ever after. Little did I know that the "after" to define my story would be the afterlife... A teenage Guardian Angel's work is never done. My name is Grace Cardiff. I was seventeen when my mother and I got into a fatal car crash. Don't waste your time grieving for me; I've already done that and I am trying my best to move forward because Heaven gave me a big to-do list. Once I made it past the Pearly Gates and got the basic questions out of the way (What's the deal with Stonehenge? Is my dead dog here?) I found out I'm a part of a minuscule percentage of humans with a soul qualified to serve as a Guardian Angel. That means I'm supposed to assume a new identity on Earth so I can protect people who are meant to positively, significantly impact humankind. It's a lot to process, I know. Regardless, my job now is to use magical angel powers and natural spunk to protect my teenage boy assignment from the dangers of life and demons who spend their time trying to foil angels when they're not taking laps in lakes of fire. It's funny---I thought Heaven would be all about rainbows, cake, and puppies. I didn't think it would involve a massive identity crisis and going back to high school

The narrative centers on the quest of four friends—SJ, Daniel, Jason, and Blue—who must rescue their classmate Crisanta Knight from captivity after their return from Dreamland. As they navigate various magical realms inspired by classic fairytales like Mulan and Alice in Wonderland, they confront personal challenges and the complexities of their friendships. The urgency of their mission is heightened by a looming deadline; failure to save Crisanta by midnight could lead to dire consequences for them all.

A mystical agency exists that is responsible for creating Christmas Carol scenarios with preselected targets every December. Employees of the agency work in either the Past, Present, or Future department and each year they are assigned a person on Earth in need of being "Scrooged," as it were, so that person can reform and embrace the potential for goodness, love, and humanity they have in their hearts. Frost Mason has worked in the Present department for almost a century and this Christmas is her 100th soul to save. The problem--Frost's belief in the miracle of Christmas and what her agency does has started to fade because while many people commit to reforming after the "life-changing" experience of being Scrooged, human beings rarely change permanently and Frost has watched countless former Scrooges backtrack and return to their old ways once time has passed. Frost must find a way to deal with her disenchantment over humanity's potential to change while also working with her team to save the soul of this year's Christmas Assignment: a young, up-and-coming political star running for governor.

Returning to protagonist school had confronted me with a mixed bag of change. Some things were good. I was a star athlete on my Twenty-Three Skidd team, my friends and I were closer than ever, I'd made amends with my traditionalist headmistress, and the surprisingly kind grandson of King Midas was doing his best to win my affection. Other changes, however, were not so sweet. The greater realm now knew about my Pure Magic, and an upcoming trial by the realm higher-ups and Fairy Godmothers would decide my fate. My former princess archenemy was under a sleeping curse, which meant we couldn't access the vital memories of a dead Fairy Godmother stored in her brain. The commons rebellion in our realm was only growing in strength.
