Series
Main plot/theme: Nearly six thousand years ago a group of Sekhmet's
personal guards stepped through a portal from Tuat (where the Egyptian Gods
reside) to Earth after their king was killed. Their assignment was simple
enough; find the leader and followers of Set's Legions who committed such a
horrible atrocity and destroy them.
Sekhmet in her wisdom offered her blood to her elite force,
which granted them immortality. Are they vamps? In a sense, but not in the
traditional sense. They do require blood to survive and to keep them bound to
Earth, but they can also walk in daylight, eat and drink normal food, go for
long periods of time without digesting it, mate and have children. They
can also die by being beheaded. Anyway, their purpose remain today what it was
in the beginning. Living near Lake Michigan Sekhmet's guards run a world-wide
protection agency, named Guardians Incorporated, more commonly called GI, where
they protect the rich, the famous and the less fortunate from the Legion or
ills of our modern day world.
Book
One - Eternal Lovers: Gabriel, their leader meets and falls hard for
Jennifer, a young married Native American woman of twenty four. Jen has come to
the area to seek the advice of her best friend. She blames herself for her
failing marriage. Although she is attracted to Gabe, she is also afraid of his
intimidating size (and manners) and has no intention of breaking her marriage
vows.
Over time and because of the loss of his true first love,
Gabe has grown hard, sometimes cruel and secretly wishes his enemy would take
his head so he can leave this world for good. That is until he meets Jen and
all hell breaks out.
Jennifer on the surface seems like any other half-breed
Native woman with exceptional abilities. She's always been able to use her mind
to communicate with animals, read other people's past lives and she has a few
other tricks and secrets up her sleeve. She's assumed she inherited these gifts
from her long since deceased grandmother, a Native medicine woman. Little does
she know she actually inherited most of her secret talents from her birth father,
a man, she never met.
Unaware to her, Ronan, her father, has watched her since her
birth; keeping a close and protective eye on her. He remains in the shadows
until Jennifer's life is at stake. Once Jen is on her road to recovery, she
learns the truth, she is half Selkie. But not the Selkie we have all come to
know and love through our European mythological tales but the Native version of
this great shifter.
With the end of her marriage (will save that spoiler)
Jennifer and Gabe set course on a romantic tale of their own. Gabriel soon
discovers there is more to his attraction to Jennifer than he first suspected.
She is in fact the reincarnation of his first and only love Akhakh, the woman
he lost to the Legion in ancient Egypt and finally Sekhmet's prophecy comes
full cycle.
Book
Two - Eternal Nights: Jennifer has left her wolf, Nowaki, in the
care of Raphael, (Gabe's second in command) while she and Gabe are on an
extended honeymoon. Is it age or is he going mad? Raphael begins hearing voices
and his nights are filled with erotic dreams of a woman he calls his
"angel," hence her long platinum hair. Raphael beings to search for
her but remains silent to his brethren, hoping he will find her and all will be
well.
In the meantime, the war between the Guardian forces and the
Legion heat up. While on a trip North, Raphael is wounded. The wolf saves his
life but not until she stands on the threshold of death's embrace. And although
it is the wolf lying on his chest in the remote forest, it is the woman of his
dreams he sees and interacts with.
Meanwhile, the ghost of Jen's grandmother appears, who
shares an incredible story with her. She has a sister and in order to save her
life (born premature) her grandmother placed Jessica's life essence inside a
tiny wolf cub then gave the cub to Jen. Sadly her grandmother passed before she
was able to reverse the magic. She now asks Jen to undo what she has done.
There are a few more ups and down in this story but in the long run, Jessica
and Nowaki are both saved, Jessica and Raphael are united in a Happy Ever After
and things are set up for book three.
Book
Three - Eternal Blades: Lance, (Gabriel's baby brother who is a
computer geek) and Tshering Snow, a white haired beauty from the Himalayas take
center stage in book three. As I previously mentioned there are more to these
books than one romance. Tshering is introduced to the Guardians when she is
rescued in Book two from the Legion forces. Lance is convinced she is the one
he has waited his entire life for and although he has the reputation of a
playboy, nothing could be farther from the truth.
Tshering, like most women, has a few secrets of her own, which
is also revealed in Book two. Although she appears human, she is a were-tiger.
Afraid the others won't understand she hides herself from the others, including
Lance when shifting until the woman on Jen's boat are attacked by the Legion.
The women save the day and all is well until Jen learns the Legion is not only
kidnapping women, they are now kidnapping small children. She, Jessica and
Tshering set out on an adventure without their mate’s knowledge to rescue a
warehouse full of youngsters only to have their plan backfire on them. They are
captured by Legion forces. While Jessica and Tshering are held in the basement,
Jen wakes in the arms of a man she first sees as Gabe... (woops) It’s not Gabe,
but his identical twin brother Bagsu, the leader of Set's Legions. Jen works
her magic and convinces Bagsu to return her and her friends to GI, meanwhile
Tshering has been taken by Unab, an ancient Legion Prime, who is behind the
children's kidnappings. He's seen her shifting abilities and has full intention
of making her his queen and over-throwing Bagsu for leadership of the Legion.
In the end, the woman including Tshering are returned to GI.
Gabe and his onetime best-friend and twin come close to reuniting but before
they shake hands, Bagsu dematerializes into the unknown; a place where time is
at a standstill and all time come together. Too bad, Unab escapes during
an all-out battle (which sets up books four and five) Tshering and Lance are
swept into the past, Tuat, where they unite as one before returning to the
present.
Book
Four - Eternal Tuat: (Bagsu's story and the first historical.)
As you just read, Bagsu dematerializes into the Unknown,
this is where this book takes place. He takes the reader back in time, back to
the beginning when Brothers where united as they should be. Best of childhood
friends he and Gabe sit on the steps of a temple waiting for Lance to be born.
It follows their lives until the moment they arrive in ancient Egypt, a time
when they become bitter enemies. I should mention, a glossary of terms and
names is included in this book since the Guardians weren't always known as
Gabe, Raphael, Lance, etc. It is Bagsu's story, his life and the events which
took him on a totally different course through the ages than his brother. The
book ends when Bagsu knows his time is in the past has ended. He returns to the
present hell bent on destroying Unab which sets up the next book in the series.
Book
Five - Eternal Life - Coming soon, 2014.
Michael, the Guardian's physician is determined to cure
little Samantha, a child saved by the Guardians, of the Aids virus. Her mother
is found in a hospital lying in a coma. Michael, much to Gabriel's disapproval,
moves the mother to the Guardian's estate, for personal reasons. Michael was
born with an exceptional ability to see into the minds of others, but since
meeting the child's mother, no matter what he does, the feelings, the emotions,
and the insight he has always had has all but disappeared. Does this woman hold
the key? He hopes so. Meanwhile, the Guardians and Bagsu separately search for
Unab. The quest continues as does the saga of all players in the series.
