“Yeah, I should be real grateful that my grandfather left me a fortune,” I said, turning back to the window. “On his deathbed.” ~//~ Overnight, Soul becomes the most powerful person in Portal management—guardian of the doorways between the natural world and The ParaNatural world. There's just one concern: she doesn't have a drop of ParaNatural in her. Or so she thought. On her first day, Soul discovers a secret kept from her since she was a child: she can sense the Portal, absorb its energy, and use the powers it grants her. But before she can process her new reality, she accidentally shuts down the very Portal she's responsible for and uncovers a truth that could destroy her grandfather's legacy.  A member of her own family has been using the Portal to smuggle illegal material into their world. Now Soul must stabilize the Portal and then hunt down the truth, a task that will take her into The Other, the realm of supernatural creatures. With her cousin and childhood friend at her side, she'll have to master a power no one has ever seen before, all while the voice of the Portal grows louder in her head. Her grandfather gave her the role of Guardian Controller; now she must prove she’s worthy of it.
