All 18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head
off to college and make those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are
known for. And maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met.
Instead, because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a
mythical creature, she has to save the world. While normal kids are slamming
energy drinks and cramming for exams, Celeste will get her adrenaline rush
fighting a fire breathing dragon. She wants to meet friends in the quad to
exchange lecture notes, but first she must exchange blows with a shapeshifting
demon on the rooftop. Life isn’t always fair for a superhero, but at least she
doesn’t have to do it alone. With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they
alternate between saving lives and getting on each others’ nerves. Together the
trio encounters unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes face-to-face with
an image that will haunt them forever—their grandmother in a leopard print
bikini. "Okay, little side note here. If a psychopathic killer asks if you
want to see a trick, say no. That’s the smart thing to do. I, on the other
hand, responded, 'Bring it'.” -excerpt from THE CONDUIT

Whether she likes it or not, eighteen year old
Celeste Garrett has come to terms with being the Chosen One. She knew having a
“normal life” would be tricky, between intense training sessions and epic
demonic battles, but she didn’t know at what cost it would come. That is, until
a dear friend is harmed by the malicious forces hunting her. Now, she’d like
nothing more than to retreat into a hermit lifestyle to prevent anyone else
from getting hurt. But startling revelations, amazing new abilities, and
mortifying moments in front of insanely hot guys won’t allow time for that.
Soon, Celeste finds herself surrounded by darkness and wondering who she can
trust—if anyone.

Celeste isn't the only member of the Garrett family
whose life changed when destiny called. Every sidekick has their tale and in
this Gryphon Series short the spotlight is turned on Kendall, Grams and even
Gabe. Get an inside look at the hilarious stress that goes along with being
a...sidekick.
Sidekicks...ya can't live with 'em and you'd
probably die horribly without 'em.

Celeste Garrett has finally found a happy balance
in her life as the Chosen One, thanks in large part to a certain hunky
Irishman. But if there’s any lesson she should heed since receiving her calling
it’s that everything can change in the blink of an eye. Soon a terrible new
threat, unlike anything she’s ever encountered, causes her to make a
gut-wrenching choice that will strip her of someone she holds dear. As much as
she’d like to have a pity party for one, there’s no time for that now because
wedding bells are ringing in Gainesboro! In between dress fittings and
rehearsal dinners Celeste will have to fend off attacking demons and leering
pirates. As if the Dark Army wasn’t scary enough our heroine is faced with the
horrifying trauma of attending a bachelorette party with her mom and watching
Grams do Jello shots. Is a walk down the aisle even possible for a member of
the Garrett family when the Dark Army is out to destroy them? More importantly,
will the Dark Army Glee Club sing at the reception?
