The Guardian Trilogy Series

Last summer, Emma discovered that true love never dies. It can return. It can give you hope. It can pull you from darkness. Until it’s ripped from you. Again. As her 22nd birthday approaches, Emma Donohue finds herself back at school and utterly alone. Hours away from family and friends, her solitary days are spent contemplating what never should have been. James should never have died, but he did. He should never have been assigned as her Guardian, but he was. And she should never have allowed Dane to get too close to her heart. But she failed. Desperate to fill her time, Emma is intrigued by her mysterious new neighbor, Garrett. She’s never met anyone quite like him before, and, curious, she attempts to discover his past. Little does she know his presence will pull her into a world she could never imagine. A world that follows an ancient doctrine. A world built on loyalty, yet plagued by secrets and lies. A world that will threaten everything – and everyone – she loves. ** Allegiant by Sara Mack is the second novel in The Guardian Trilogy. It is not affiliated with the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. **

True love never dies. Emma Donohue begs to differ. When a late night accident claims the love of her life, Emma secludes herself in memories of James. In his sandy brown hair and clear blue eyes. In their innocent first kiss and declarations of love. In their plans for a life together after college. But happy dreams can’t rid her of the guilt she carries. She can’t erase her actions the night he died. She can’t erase her reaction at his funeral. And she can’t erase the hollow void that fills her chest and consumes her heart. The first time Emma hears James’ voice, she’s astounded. It sounds as if he’s standing right beside her, and she fears her shattered heart is trying to drive her mad. But, as she continues to hear the voice, she finds comfort in it. With the help of her best friend Shel and handsome newcomer Dane, she tries to move forward and start living again. Until the voice in her head turns out to be more. So much more. You know what they say. True love never dies. Guardian is a new adult/college paranormal romance containing moderate language/mild innuendo. Guardian is the first story in The Guardian Trilogy.

As you might already know, every fairy tale starts with "Once Upon a Time". And, let me tell you, so does this one. Thousands of years ago, in a magical world far away from ours, something happened. A young, powerful half-Spirit known as the Master, with the desire to rule the world with dark magic, challenged the Spirits of Light to face him. When they denied, he unleashed a thousand-year war - and won. He locked the Spirits whom he'd defeated away; but not for long... The Spirits had a plan. When sixteen-year-old James Riverdale takes home a mysterious book, he and his friends come to a shocking conclusion; the dark fairy tale described in this book is real, and they're playing a part in it. It is their mission to save the magical world of Lunaria from the destruction the Master's rule has caused. The only way to do this, is to travel through the world and restore the balance between dark and light... Feel free to join James and his friends on their quest to free Lunaria from the Master's reign. But beware: once you've entered, there's no going back...

Once upon a time, not so long ago, the magical world of Lunaria was freed from corruption by the Bond of Light. The Master, who ruled over Lunaria with an iron fist, was defeated, and the Guardians returned home safely after restoring the balance between the Light and Dark. To keep things this way, one simple rule had to be obeyed. But unfortunately, not all can go as planned... One night, fourteen-year-old Marilyn Bellucci disappears without a trace. When her best friend, Lucas Riverdale, finds her again four years later, the two find themselves in another world. A world that needs their help. Being victims of the same spell his father and his friends once were, Lucas and his four friends must save the world of Lunaria and prevent the Master from rising to power once again, while Mari faces the consequences of a mistake her father made long ago. Are these new Guardians up to the challenge, and will they be able to put down the Master for good, or is Lunaria doomed?

Lunaria is a perfect world of peace and balance, located in a different time and universe than the Earth we humans live on. It is ruled by divine creatures called Spirits, who are in charge of all the energy that flows through the planet and its inhabitants. When the youngest Spirit, Asura, in a desperate attempt to follow along with his older siblings, whom he feels left out and mistreated by, accidentally meddles with the Darkness that lurks within Lunaria, things go desperately wrong. It is up to his eldest sister, Akilah, to find a way to save both her little brother and the world from the Darkness and prevent it from consuming the entire world. The question is, however, whether or not Asura even wishes to be saved anymore. A battle between light and dark commences, with Lunaria's fate in the balance.
