Dark Guardian brings the reality of everyday life to one individual, and the fear of the afterlife and all it entails to another. In the small town of Buhler, KS lives Elizabeth (Liz) Moore, the preacher's granddaughter. Following all the rules since birth, Liz tackles young adulthood head on and moves past what's right and wrong taught by both her family and her religion. Stepping out of her comfort zone, her life changes with each first time experience she faces, and she realizes that some choices can hurt those she cares about. As she tries to find a solution to make everyone happy, fate steps in to change things for her. She just doesn't know it. Against his better judgment, Gabe Cooper goes out one night only to meet the love of his life, Liz. During another chance meeting that night, Gabe is forced into an arrangement with something Liz despises. Gabe Cooper is no guardian angel; and actually, part of him is now far from it. Yet as people have a tendency to change, other things can too. With a constant struggle between good and evil, light and dark, Gabe has pledged his existence, now and forever, to protect the one he loves, and as he's been told, the best way for him to do that . . . is to not tell her.
