Without them, life would lack surprise and be far less wonderful and good.
When last year's Christmas wish goes ungranted for the first time in her life, Lovie Watson accepts that it is a sign it's time to stop believing in magic and start living in reality as an adult. What she doesn't know is that the wish granting sentry assigned to her since childhood has been doing everything in his power to make the wish happen. Without success. Anden of the Valiant has until midnight this Christmas Eve to grant Lovie's selfless wish and keep her light and faith alive if he can just figure out how to do it without breaking the most sacred of his kind's ancient and time-honored rules.
Namely to never insert oneself personally in the granting of a wish.
But if that is the only way to protect and preserve her unique trust in the universe, he may not have a choice. The consequence of a selfless wish going ungranted has always been devastating to both the wisher and the sentry. Both the Watsons and the Valiant have suffered through the pain of an ungranted selfless wish once before. To put both families through it again would be utterly cruel.
Will it all be left to Fate? Or might Lovie and her Valiant sentry have the courage to redefine the rules and keep the magic of the season alive in the hearts of millions?
