Vanguardian
The kingdom of Monde is the envy of its neighbors. Nasrin and her son, Lucian, have illegally resided in the kingdom for years. When the Marshal of Monde captures Nasrin for illegal residency, he finds himself shielding her and her son from prosecution. Lucian must conceal his supernatural gifts from the marshal and from Monde’s watchful rival kings, who could see him as a weapon or a threat.
“A beauty of noble heritage… a powerful duke with hidden motives… beings from another world… danger and intrigue. I picked up this book and could not put it down. Vanguardian is an astounding achievement.”
—Michael McConnell, editor of NYT bestsellers, including Homesick for Another World and Eileen, winner of the Man Booker Prize
