Fifth graders Lizzie and Zach love playing hockey, being outside, and climbing the rocks at Raven Park. When it's decided that they'll spend a whole day at the park, the two friends can barely subdue their excitement. This sunny day will be different from all the others, though, as Lizzie and Zach come face-to-face with the mysterious park guardians-the stone people. The kids can't be sure about the stone people. Are they friends or foes? Do they mean to do harm, or are they there to protect the park and all those who enter? Lizzie and Zach decide to answer these questions by using their imagination, and soon they travel to far-off places and take on big adventures, all in a world of their own creation. When Lizzie begins to feel sick, though, it's hard to trust the stone people. Lizzie's parents come to realize she has juvenile diabetes. Her condition worsens, and even best friend Zach can't imagine this illness away. As Lizzie gets sicker, the stone people grow bigger and bigger and possibly, more sinister-or maybe not. Maybe the stone people aren't sinister at all. Maybe they're preparing for battle as Lizzie's personal guardians to help her confront this new illness.

Out on her own at a young age, Rowan Oak didn't have many options open to her. Joining the force seemed the best of them at the time, and things hadn't gotten better since. With her career stalled, she worried that there weren't many opportunities still open to her. Not many chances to get back into her daughter's life. That is, until a spell worked for her unexpectedly. The elements hadn't been responding to the covens. Not like they had for their ancestors when they first settled on the three ley lines that ran through Chicago. Rowan had been kicked out of two of the three covens, but she had always kept the goddess close to her heart. Kept to the faith that she was born to. With the elements seeming to awaken around her, Rowan started to worry that something else was going on. That something darker was coming around the corner. And when the Stones started dying on her, it was hard for her not to feel responsible for it all.
