EL GATO Austin no es un gato cualquiera: es el gato de una guardiana, un felino charlatán con unas opiniones tremendamente sólidas que siempre está deseando expresar. LA GUARDIANA Claire Hansen es una guardiana, miembro del selecto grupo que mantiene el universo a salvo. Y ahora ha sido llamada a la Pensión Campos Elíseos, un decadente establecimiento que parece atraer a una clientela poco «habitual». Y a Claire no le ha hecho mucha gracia su última misión, más bien ninguna.

A Claire Hansen le ha tocado, por suerte o por desgracia, un importante trabajo: ser uno de los Guardianes de la Tierra. Para realizar sus misiones, es llamada a lugares en que se detectan determinadas anomalias: se han abierto fisuras... o alguien las ha abierto. Tales portales son los puntos mas peligrosos del mundo; por ellos, si no son sellados a tiempo, podrian irrumpir en la Tierra los siervos del Infierno. Tras su ultima mision cerrar un portal al infierno en la Pension Campos Eliseos de Paris, a Claire y su gato parlanchin, Austin, se les ha añadido un nuevo compañero: Dean. A pesar de que Dean es un mero testigo y no deberia estarle permitido ni tan siquiera recordar que los Guardianes existen, la terrible experiencia que vivieron en los Campos Eliseos le ha hecho convertirse en parte indispensable de la vida de Claire. Ella sabe que deberia borrarse de su mente y obligarlo a dejarla. Cualquier otro tipo de relacion esta condenada a llevarlos al desastre. Pero ya es demasiado tarde; sin Dean a su lado Claire podria convertirse facilmente en un peligro para ella misma y para los demas. Pero mientras Claire conserva a Dean cerca (con alguna pequeña intromision de su hermana Diana), el mundo va directo al caos. Y Claire esta a punto de enfrentarse a un reto que supera a sus fantasias mas descabelladas: una catastrofe creada por el poder del amor. En el mundo de los mortales han aparecido un angel y un demonio en forma de adolescentes en plena efervescencia, que no tienen ni idea de como arreglarselas con sus cuerpos demasiado humanos, sus hormonas desenfrenadas y sus antagonicas necesidades de hacer el bien y el mal... Clara no puede tener un momento de distraccion: ¿quien protegeria entonces al mundo de los peligros combinados que vienen de Cielo e Infierno?
