Their greatest enemies were the ugly and brutal harpies that people today mistake for gargoyles.Seventeen-year-old Force has never been interested in girls. All of his dreams have revolved around serving with honor in battle. But the gargoyle left all the great world-shaping battles behind him in another era. Now he's just a medieval guy trying to get by in a modern world.At this point in Camie's life she's convinced that you can't count on guys for nothing. Her short-term plan is to get through high school without a boyfriend to distract her. Her long-term plan is to complete college. After that, maybe she'll look around for a knight in shining armor…if there is such a thing…and if they aren't all taken by the time she starts looking.Only fate and unusual circumstance can move these two independent young people together. But when you're talking about gargoyles, the circumstances are always unusual.
