{"product_id":"theo-m-r-9798187212057","title":"Theo: The Golden Guardian","description":"\u003cb\u003eHe is not a hero. He is a puppy who is afraid of thunder.\u003c\/b\u003e Theo is overly curious, hopeless at guarding anything, and incapable of meeting a stranger without falling instantly in love with them. He is also the Thirteenth Golden Guardian - the first in centuries - born carrying a fragment of starlight and a duty older than memory itself. When the boundary between the living world and the realm of lost memories begins to fray, Theo is called away from Aarav, the boy who chose him first, to learn what he was truly born to do. His magic isn't spells or swords. It's love, freely given, at a cost he doesn't understand until it's too late to take back - because every memory he saves, he pays for with one of his own. A favorite toy. A familiar smell. And, eventually, terrifyingly, the people he loves most. Aarav made him one promise the night everything changed: \u003ci\u003eI don't care what you forget. I'll remember enough for both of us.\u003c\/i\u003e Neither of them knew exactly how much that promise would be asked to hold. Drawing on the rich cosmology of Hindu mythology - realms of memory, sacred animal orders, and a villain who never lies, only asks patient, reasonable questions - \u003cb\u003eTheo: The Golden Guardian\u003c\/b\u003e is a story about the oldest kind of magic there is: the kind that doesn't need to be remembered perfectly to have been real. For readers who love mythology-inspired epic fantasy, unbreakable animal companions, found family, and stories that aren't afraid to break your heart a little on the way to healing it. \u003cb\u003eBook One of The Legends of Anantya.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
