The Fifth Guardian
(2028)(The eighth book in the Guardians of the Path series)
A novel by Nicole DragonBeck
"We are all connected. Some near, some distant, but all together. Your actions may travel far to touch another's life, and another's act may come around to enter yours."
The Sorcerer needs one last piece of the Amber Torch to complete his plan, and it's Ria he sends to retrieve it. She goes carrying his purpose. She returns with far more than either of them expected.Every thread that has carried the Guardians this far is a ripple from somewhere else, reaching toward a destiny that remains elusive to all who work to shape it. The Witches of Lii, still fractured over the Way of Things. The children of Ghor, still without the home they've bled for. The Maker, reading a Mark he's only beginning to understand. The reluctant heir to a lost crown has struck a fragile alliance with the last dragon in Demona to thwart the Singer of the Grey Song.
History is already repeating itself. The question is whether any of them will recognize it in time to change how it ends.
If you love The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time, where a single life, long since ended, can still decide what happens next, the mystery of the Fifth Guardian belongs on your shelf.
