A hidden world, known as the Shadowlands, threatens ours with darkness and magical violence. To protect both worlds, boundary lines were drawn. No one can cross from one to the other without risking open war.

After the fire that killed Tavin’s mother, his grief-stricken father disappeared, abandoning him and his sister Moreanna. Tavin and Moreanna share a secret psychic connection. Sometimes, her presence is the only thing that keeps Tavin sane. When a mysterious sickness threatens Moreanna’s life, Tavin`s connection to his sister begins to fade. With the discovery of a magical universe through a hidden door in his grandfather`s attic, Tavin desperately hopes a cure may be within his grasp.

“No trespassing” becomes an easy rule to break.

The Guardian is an amazing page-turner; everyone will fall in love with the characters, and wonder what will happen in the sequel.

". . . A riveting fantasy, highly recommended!"
Midwest Book Review

". . . This special kind of story deals with the forces of creation and their relationship to humans. Reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one difficulty leads to another. . ."
JoAn Martin, The Baytown Sun

". . . Interesting plot. . .Epic cover and beautiful artwork in each chapter. . . can't wait to see what the author has in store for Tavin!"
DJ Life In Fiction

". . . A decent fantasy read!"
ForeWord

". . . A Quest in the truest sense of the word. . . It's Harry Potter taken to a new and more complex level, and - like Harry Potter - can be appreciated by teens and adults alike."
