Paperback
(Outskirts Press, Sept. 4, 2013)
When the evil Black Shields attack the temple of the Powerstar, its protector, Zeel, the Guardian, is injured. His life is in danger until he is found and brought back to life by Amina, the healer. Their world depends on Zeel finding the Powerstar and restoring it to its rightful place. But he won't be going alone. Determined, sarcastic, and protective, Amina is fated to accompany him...and despite her cynical shell, as they travel, she becomes aware that she and Zeel may be fated to share more than this adventure. Accompanied by Amina's companion wolf, Coda, and a group of colorful characters who join them on the way, Zeel and Amina learn the deeper meaning of loyalty, friendship...and maybe even love.
