The Last Guardian Rises | Rebecca Trogner
Lily Ayres, Sanguis Ancilla to Krieger Barnes, has retreated into the shadows of the archives, hiding from the king and the intense emotions he arouses in her. How long can she deny him? Will she accept her role in the Other world and the abilities arising within her. Krieger Barnes, Vampire King of North America, has shared his blood with Lily, his kingdom, and his heart. He summons Lily, needing her nearness, needing her to attend the council meeting with him. Merlin, the king's advisor, must fight the darkness that threatens to overtake him. Can he survive the dark magic? Lucien Black, the one who wields the Dragon Sword, is once again charged with Lily's protection. How will he explain his avoidance of her? A being buried deep underground, inside a cage of iron and wrapped in chains, escapes. Is he the dark entity that the Others feel and fear?
