Book Description:
A secret has the power to destroy a Kingdom.
I have learned this though both isolation and sorrow my
inheritance is a legacy of lies- They flow through my family like poison. Each
new morning they become harder to hide.
But now my world is in turmoil. The Second Kingdom has
already fallen. Demons rise from its ashes, crossing our borders to slaughter
my people. Betrayal threatens to consume all I strive to defend. The Jeweled
City is on the brink of war. Only my marriage to a stranger can slow its tide.
How will I choose between duty and love?
Review:
Guardian of Time is a completely different book than Phoenix
Angel and takes place in a different demotion or “Shard” as they call it. Prince
Raeylan and his twin sister Margariete, are trying to defend their kingdom from
demons who are crossing the border. That is just the start of things. When Margariete
meets a new friend, Esilwen, who has lost her memory things really start to get
interesting. Esilwen starts to fall in love with Raeylan and him with her but
he must marry another in hopes to save his kingdom. Love is found & hearts
are broken in this fantasy full of suspense and adventure.
One of the things I loved is how strong the characters are they
really hold their own and the way you get wrapped up in the story and forget
where you are. This book mostly focuses on Margariete and Esilwen and their
journey, loves and losses. The detail from the mythology of their god’s to the
different Shards is just amazing. I can’t wait to read what happens next in the
series or where they will end up. This really is a must read for fantasy lovers
and I highly recommend it!
