About this ebook

Rydian Halt has defeated one of the immortal Alfur, the alien species that has ruled over humanity for generations. With newfound power burning in his veins, for a brief moment, anything seemed possible. Freedom for himself, for his people, for all of Talamh.

Until the Haze struck.

Now cast into the wildlands of Talamh, Rydian struggles for survival—and his very sanity. Each time he uses his new power, the Haze threatens, tearing at his mind. But without its aid, Rydian won’t last a day against the beasts that stalk him. He needs an ally, one that can teach him about the Light that now burns within him. The Alfur have kept its secrets close, but there is one who might aid him, an Alfur who seems too loath her own people almost as much as any human.

Rotin, gladiator of the Alfur.

The power that saved him is tearing him apart. The only one who can help is the enemy. Guardian is the breathtaking sequel from NYT Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges — where survival, sanity, and the spark of revolution are all on the line in a dystopian future where nothing is as it seems.

Ratings and reviews

Aaron has done it again in this bridge between book 1 & 3. His masterful brilliance in combining sci-fi and fantasy into a realistic novel that you could easily believe your living in. As you weave your way through the chapters. Don't let your conception of what you think is going on in this tell, lead you in a single direction. For Aaron will throw you for a loop as what reality is actually like, compared to what we have assumed so far. 5 stars isn't enough to rate this book in my opinion!
