The Empty Seat (The Seven Guardians) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Seven foundations. Six empty keepings. One bargain that was broken before anyone knew the cost.

Quasimodo is free.

But freedom has not ended what was done to him.

When a strange wasting affliction begins draining the people of Vézelay, Esmeralda and Quasimodo follow the mystery to an ancient church where a stone Guardian has stood motionless for four hundred years.

Except eleven years ago, he turned around.

Now he stands with his head bowed toward the floor, listening for something that is no longer there.

What lies beneath the church will force Esmeralda to question everything she believes about the ancient treaty she has sworn to protect—and force Quasimodo to confront another Guardian whose fate is terrifyingly close to his own.

Because the Seven Guardians were never bound in the way history claims.

Someone changed the bargain.

Someone has spent centuries making certain no one noticed.

And the man responsible has one extraordinary advantage:

He never lies.

As buried records surface and forgotten promises begin to unravel, Esmeralda and Quasimodo must discover what was taken from Vézelay before an ancient wrong becomes impossible to undo.

But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because some prisons are built from stone.

Others are built from promises.

And somewhere, six seats are still empty.

THE EMPTY SEAT is Book Two of The Seven Guardians, a dark gothic fantasy series blending romance, ancient mysteries, living stone, historical intrigue, and a reimagined world inspired by The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
