Sanctuary Guardians

Descendants of gods. Fated Guardians. High school students. Reeling from the revelation of ancestral links they never knew existed, Telara and her friends must learn to harness their newly emerging powers bestowed from the gods. Guided by an abrasive alpha, the gang must also learn control if they hope to protect innocent lives from the Shadow Master. This malevolent enemy longs to enslave the world and drain it of its magic. No Guardian has ever faced the Shadow Master and lived. But, that evil relic has never faced Telara and her friends. Call forth Mount Olympus, there's a new band of Demi-gods in town. And, they refuse to be swallowed by shadows like those who came before them. From award-winning author T.L. Shively comes a gripping YA fantasy that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, until the very last page!

Telara and her fellow Guardians journey to the sun-drenched coast of Florida, where the Sanctuary's Archaeology Line hides more than ancient relics. Beneath the guise of research and restoration lies a facility steeped in secrets, secrets that whisper of their past lives, their purpose, and the origins of the Shadows stalking them. Their mission seems simple; protect the line, uncover the truth, and keep the Sanctuary safe. But nothing about Arcadia is what it seems. The deeper they delve, the more their memories begin to stir; echoes of another lifetime bleeding into the present. Visions of betrayal, love, and sacrifice haunt their dreams, while an enigmatic stranger seems to know more about their fate than he's willing to admit. As buried truths rise and loyalties are tested, the Guardians find themselves at the breaking point. Friendships are strained, hearts are laid bare, and the fragile bonds that tie them together may be the only thing standing between them and destruction. In the shadows, the Shadow Master stirs; closer than ever, watching, waiting. Every revelation draws the Guardians into a dangerous game of destiny, one that will force them to decide whether the truth will make them stronger... or shatter them beyond repair.
