Lightguard - Paperback

Stay the course. Be the Light.

After fifteen years of hard training, 25-year-old Corinne Anastos is ready to become a Lightguard and receive her assignment as a Sword of Helaera. Corinne is the most powerful light mage they've seen at the monastery in decades, and she's fought harder than anyone in her training class to retain that reputation-and to prevent the others from discovering her closest-kept secret. When the day of her Anointing arrives, Corinne's hopes for a life of honor are dashed. Instead of a placement protecting the sacred Boundary, she's to be the personal guard for Aryel Serra, Prince of Ashera and heir to the throne. Powerful dark mages have threatened the prince's life, and it's now Corinne's sworn duty to keep him safe, even if he is the most insufferable man she's ever met. A Lightguard must not stray from their path, and Corinne must do whatever it takes to live up to those expectations. Because if that voice in her head speaks true, if she fails to protect the prince and guard her own heart, the life she's fought for will crumble around her.
