The Warrior and His Guard

"I'm all for a bit of back and forth, but don't forget who you're talking to." He hisses, charged eyes seizing mine. "I'm rooting for you - but I'm deadly serious and I meant what I said - if that kid dies before I talk to him, I will make your life a living hell, starting with your little sister." He snarls. "And as far as your little threats, you and I both know there are other ways of controlling you." His lips feather over the sensitive skin just below my ear as I pull away from him in horror. "Sleep well, little Fawn."

Set in a futuristic, post-nuclear war dystopia, the enduring human population struggles to survive in a world besieged with plagues, poverty and natural disasters roving the barren lands. A cluster of people call the small island colony of DALLIANCE home, but detest the Crown ruling it.

At seventeen, Skye is the youngest healer in the settlement. Tucked safely into the illusion that her duty of tending to the injured is of more importance than her being Requested as a Guard, to serve and protect the conceited Warriors out in the field, the last thing she expects is for one of the monsters to wreck her entire world.

Although she regards him as the enemy he is, Skye is forced to undergo survival training alongside Naethean at the mainland institution. Soon after, they're dispatched into the wilderness and the first of Naethean's many secrets shatter Skye's putative reality. With circumstances shoving them together, even Skye's heart is betraying what she thought to be true. As treacheries lead them into the crossfire, it's up to Skye to decide whether to take cover or brace herself for the biggest sacrifice yet.
