The Guardian 12+

📕 Every epic tale begins with epic strife. From the outside Vivian Cross appears to be an average twenty-something with a knack for fixing things and a fervent addiction to fresh baked scones. On the inside, every day of her adult life has been a battle of momentous proportions. She struggles with the death of her beloved grandparents, her strange disconnection with her life, and the mysterious death of her parents. Yet little does she know the hands of Fate have more in store for her than a life of turmoil. Vivian has no idea that the world she knows is already in motion. She's given a rude awakening when she suddenly finds that her home town is populated by men, monsters and creatures of myth and legend. Even her two best friends turn out to be much more than they appear. And nearly everyone seems to want her dead. Running from one crisis to another, Vivian learns the truth of her amazing heritage and the story of a love that changed the entire way of life for mythical beings as we know them. She finds herself drawn into a battle that is older than time, against creatures that have only graced the inside of story books. Will she be able to find the answers she has so dearly sought, or will she lose everything to the darkness?
