[Guardians of the Word 07] • Adept

It isn't so easy to kill a telepath. Or contain him. Those that must hold absolute evil shielded from the world, fight to restore tenuous balance against a force they can no longer control. Reality mingles with chaos that beats at the confines of its prison - eager for freedom. The thin veil that separates the world of death from the world of life starts to dissolve, shearing as though in a wind that no shield can hold. Those once dead live and those living struggle to survive against the perpetual night. Souls are taken and souls returned, but can they ever be the same, coming back from the land of the damned? A 1000 year-old ghost tires of his duties and the Gods are weakening. The Heir Apparent carries the weight of worlds, holding onto the only things that will get him through; faith and love. If the demon comes, if it breaches the barrier that has kept it from the world, will love be enough? Will anything? Adept is the Seventh Chronicle of the Guardians of the Word series, an Epic Science Fiction Fantasy that is suitable for mature young adults. The Chronicles are Chosen, Myth, Telepath, Legend, Union, Seer, Adept, and King. The Eighth Chronicle will be released in March, 2013.
