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!
