"An entertaining mix of YA adventure and coming-of-age epic." — Publishers Weekly
An oath to fulfill, the shadow of a legacy from which to emerge, and sins yet to be forgiven.
Victor Raine led a war to defend a neighboring nation in hopes of preventing power from falling into the wrong hands. However, his good intentions defied the king’s orders and ended with his execution, leaving his son Vincent to deal with the ripples of his father’s treason. The king demanded that when Vincent was of age, he was to follow in his father’s footsteps to one day replace him as commander of the Guardians. Warriors with powers they refer to as Favors, whose duty it is to protect the balance of their world, that is, unless the king says otherwise.
Vincent stood before a destiny littered with the remnants of his father’s life, and until the day comes for him to take the first step on his journey, his mother, Fira, would train him, teach him everything she knew to keep him alive. And he’s not alone. His three adopted siblings stand by his side, ready to face the same challenges, but it isn’t long before they realize the hardest battles take place in the mind. They’ll need much more than their current strength to overcome the dangers ahead. But power does not come without cost, and Vincent will be forced to learn—Some wars are fought in silence. Others begin with a whisper.
