To be Exemplian is an honor. The privilege: You never die. The burden: You never die. As the Protectors and Guides of human energy-souls-across all worlds, Exemplians are responsible to ensure life flows effortlessly throughout the universe. The task is dangerous, at times deadly, but death doesn't matter in Exemplar. For Exemplians, death is easy. Rebirth is harder. Tarek Montigue, an Exemplian Protector, has recently experienced his first rebirth. Scientists have turned back time, strengthened his body. Physically, he's fit to serve, able to live another cycle as a privileged drone in Exemplar. But the misery that comes from rebirth is as dark and deep as rumors claim. As he tries to cope, news has spread that a new energy, a new life, is born. The new life? A Guide. And every Guide needs a Protector. When Tarek is deemed the perfect match for Lena, the new energy, the honor begins to heal him. An honor that could possibly destroy him, too. THE PAIRING is the prequel to TAINTED ENERGY of The Energy Series. The complete series can be found on Amazon. The first two chapters of TAINTED ENERGY are posted on my page. Happy reading!

❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏. Plus a splash of feminism and diversity makes everything instantly better. SO GOOD!" - @shelsontheloose Copyright © 2021 by WriterMickeyC (of Wattpad) All Rights Reserved COVER: Guinealove2005
