Meesh is growing into her newly discovered destiny as the Guardian of the Underworld. However, there is something sinister going on. There is an evil force driving her friend's family from their homes and threatening to destroy all of Ponderosa. Meesha will have to act quickly to save those she loves. 

There are themes of friendship, prejudice, revenge, and believing in one's self, which helps elevate the plot. The graphics and art are well done. The clash between the different magical groups and how a whole race can be set up to take the blame for an economic downturn makes for an interesting talking point, though the plot is fairly predictable. Meesha is a demon.
