The guardians have the duty to strive and uphold balance within the many worlds. They are called by the Oracle and sent on missions, given tasks and tests they have to pass.
While the rules of Kandrakar have never clearly been spoken of, there are several mentioned throughout the comic when being broken. So guardians are probably expected to act on the rules and customs of the fortress.
About the deeds or characteristics of former guardian teams there is almost nothing known, apart from the fact that their amount of members increased over time to be able to handle the Heart of Kandrakar. We ve also had several fight scenes that look good enough on paper, but have completely failed to elicit any sort of emotional or thematic response in the reader.
Jack and Annie embark on a quest to find the missing knights and save Camelot. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles. They meet a magical dog named Teddy who befriends them and aids them in their mission.

The storyline felt rushed and poorly executed, and the magic element that usually adds intrigue to the series was lacking. I felt like the authors were just trying to churn out another book without putting much effort into it. I hope future installments can recapture the magic of the earlier books."
