Cassie thought her newfound friendships could withstand anything. Was she wrong?

Just as she settles into her transformed life, a sinister force emerges, threatening not just Cassie and her friends, but the very fabric of multiple dimensions. The Guardians face their greatest challenge yet, with their fate hanging in the balance.

Can Cassie and her friends push back the encroaching darkness? Or will this be the end of their divine mission or their lives?

In this thrilling adventure, loyalty is tested, dimensions collide, and theline between light and dark blurs. The Guardians' saga continues-but this time, the cost of failure is higher than ever.

Excerpt:

As Guardians, Santos was the "seer." It was a terrible ability to have, because he literally saw things that existed in different realms, and they weren't the pretty things. It could make his world very frightening, and as far as I was concerned, he was the bravest of us all.

"There's something I have to show you and Hailey," Santos said quietly. "And Chris, too; he should be coming. He has something he wants to tell us," Only Hailey standing in my way kept me from bolting to my car. She reached up and squeezed my arm.

Hailey was the Guardian's "dreamer." Her dreams gave us insight into what we were going to face, and she'd become my closest friend; even now, having her beside me gave me courage.

In book two of The Guardians series, Cassie and the rest of The Defenders must continue to face their fears. Ultimately, they must embrace their true selves if they are to receive the weapons needed to defeat the enemies being sent to destroy them and their world.
