BLURB:
And she fears it's coming for her...
When wildlife prodigy Sam and her crush—quirky handsome Jake—are
attacked by a dragon assassin, Sam discovers her secret past. A past connected
to a supernatural giant cat and a glowing faerie.
Sam is quickly pulled into a high stakes battle for the world.
Everyone, including a creepy ancient villain, wants her supernatural staff,
which she doesn’t know how to use. Sophisticated ninja dragons, a kong-sized
gorilla, and mysterious beasts offer help—but are they friends or enemies? Sam
has a big heart, but will her love for all creatures tear her life apart?
To survive the hardest choice she's ever made, Sam will have to unlock
the hidden power inside her.
Ready or not, Sam is about to find out if she has what it takes to be
a guardian…
Guardian: The Choice is the new exciting start of a magic-filled
fantasy four book series starring a powerful heroine, a tough brawny hero, and
a slew of not-so-friendly magical beasts.

before.

EXCERPT:
“What are we running from, Biggie?” yells Jake.
“Uncle Biggie not sure!” The big guy keeps running.
I step on one of the papery skins and slide, and then
stumble over a leg bone lying on the ground. I hurtle forward off balance,
crashing into the lower section of a giant rib cage.
“Ugh!” My shoulder hurts, but I squeeze between two ribs,
run through the chest cavity, and slip out between ribs on the other side. I
spot Jake to my left and veer after him.
A rumble fills my ears and I pump my legs faster. I weave
around some skeletons and jump over bones scattered on the ground. I risk a
glance back. A mass of indistinct shapes is flowing like water through the
boneyard, quickly catching up to us.
Something is chasing us. A herd of large somethings.
Up ahead Ridge waves urgently to us. He’s standing beneath a
thick, giant skull missing its lower jaw. Cerac must already be inside.
Uncle Biggie races past Ridge with the crocle-lion, ducking
beneath the teeth of the upper jaw bone. Jake follows. Ridge must have decided
to make a stand there. I’m disappointed and surprised that Biggie and Jake left
me behind.
A deep roar splits the air. I check over my shoulder. I was
wrong. I’m not being hunted. But something is hunting everything else.
The stampede sounds like a small earthquake and the ground
trembles beneath my feet. A writhing mass of monster-sized snakes, lizards, and
mammals—some with golden eyes—are jumping, leaping, and crawling in a crazed
pattern behind me.
I estimate the distance to Ridge, and how quickly the mass
of bodies is moving toward me.
I’m not going to make it.
