This is a dark, YA urban fantasy tale in which a girl named Karla begins by telling us about her day at school, at home and her waitressing job. Life is about to get more exciting than she would have wanted, however in POSSESSION OF MY SOUL. A man named Lucas introduces himself to Karla, earning the annoyance of her school pal Paul. Then following an alarming sequence of events Karla wakes in a strange house with Lucas, a Japanese woman and an English man, who try to explain that she has died and come back to life, and they are taking care of her. Karla panics and tries to escape.

Outdoors however Karla meets unpleasant people called Starkoffs who use to their own advantage a power to create an invisible shield. Saved from their weapons by Lucas and his friends, Karla now learns that she has inherited this power too and must use it to help others. The Starkoffs have turned to cannibalism to extend their powers and anyone with a shield skill is their preferred diet.

The Shielders battle a war that has been raging for centuries against the Starkorfs, who endeavor to harvest humans and Shielders alike to obtain immortality and power.

Amidst the chaos of war and death that surrounds her, Karla must also confront the charming Elemental Breathers.
