Guardian Chronicles: Awakening

His noble father raised him as the second son, destined for life as a humble priest. But the prophecies call him the Guardian.

When Boren's noble family is brutally murdered, he flees with nothing but the clothes on his back and a terrible secret: he is the Guardian, a being destined to protect the mysterious Infant—a child with the power to seal away an ancient evil forever.

Rescued by the warrior mage Feridun, Boren is thrust into a world of forbidden magic and terrifying creatures from beyond the veil. Together with a young magic-wielding cleric named Deuc, they race across the war-torn kingdom of Siskail, hunted by the usurper king Ferdul and his shadowy allies. Their mission: find the Infant before the demonic Anjun can unleash apocalyptic forces upon their world.

But as Boren's dormant powers awaken, he faces an impossible choice. The Guardian's duty has always been to protect the Infant at any cost—but what if that cost is too terrible to bear? With dark forces closing in and time running out, Boren must decide if he can embrace a destiny he never wanted, or watch his world burn.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Eragon who crave darker themes, Guardian Chronicles: Awakening blends epic battles and forgotten magic into a tale of sacrifice, destiny, and the true meaning of brotherhood.

This is the first installment in a breathtaking new YA fantasy series, part of the wider Portal Wars Universe saga, that will keep you turning pages long into the night.
