Following a disaster, the magical Guardian of the People quits her job. On her way to complete one last quest before full retirement, she runs into her prophesied rival: Prince Tekion of the Great Kingdom -- a man she is fated to one day fight in a battle of life and death. But instead of fighting, the two begrudgingly embark on the journey together: a journey that will take them places that they never would have gone (and that they never would have wanted to go). The Search for Life is a high fantasy novel that is ultimately about healing and redemption, but not without its fair share of action and excitement.
