Guardinals: once a powerful title held by warriors, now a powerful title held by barbarians.
After the brutal Celestial Brethren War, the Guardinals and shifters like them were banished to the realm Guardia to live the rest of their lives, away from the mortal world. With their skills no longer used for protecting, the Elders turned warriors into gladiators.
One thousand mortal years later, the last Relic Dragon is on the verge of becoming a Guardinal. Her name is Apolla. Blood and glory is what she knows best.
Three hundred years after mastering every battle art known to her world, she earned the mark of the Guardinal by killing every enemy she met with blue flames.
That was until another Guardinal Ward was destroyed. Now with a threat of a dangerous opponent and new arrivals coming to her Ward, she is forced to do something she never knew was an option: teach.
Being threatened into doing it wasn't sitting well with her, so her trusted companions dig for the truth as she does what she's told.
Journey through Apolla's struggle to find herself and protect the ones she loves as she tries to uncover the truth behind her past, her present, her future and the future of those closest to her.

Meanwhile, threats of Killian kept rising as he steadily grew in his dormant powers and army. Cara could no longer stay still what with new alliances forming and old promises broken, both allies and foes warring. She knew there was no escaping the plans for the future laid out so brazenly.

Elvirund | ✔️
*Featured on Fantasy's Dark Fantasy reading list!* ► Book One of the Wings Trilogy This is, by no means, a story for those light of heart. This is also, unfortunately, a true story. I am a doctor with wings, one who doesn't belong here. I know, stereotypical. But it's true. Still confused? I used to be an angel. I caused the apocalypse of the planet inhabited by the very creatures I was supposed to help. It was the only way to help them, really. But that's a different story for a different day. Now, the surviving humans have emerged from the rubble, soaking in the damage left over from my destructive actions. What are they supposed to do about that? I have been cast upon earth, given the task of taking care of them and healing them. I suppose I have to clean up after myself. I doubt, however, that I have any chance of returning home to Elvirund. Or, as the humans call it, Heaven. You see, all of them are wounded. And the Elders are coming after me. ---------------------------------------------------- Rated Mature for: infrequent/mild cursing, mild graphic content Beautiful cover thanks to @leaving_forever Started: Jul 17, 2016 Ended: May 14, 2017Complete
