REVIEW

"The world-building in this novel is a standout feature and the character dynamics are a highlight. The author's vivid descriptions bring the bioluminescent forests and the ethereal Mizu villages to life. The lore of Guardians, especially their duties and the myths surrounding them, feels rich and immersive.

​

The Guardians: Rise of the Phantom is a tale of adventure and heart. Its lush world-building and endearing characters make it a compelling read for fans of fantasy, particularly those who enjoy stories with mystical creatures and elemental powers. I'd recommend it to young adults and anyone who delights in whimsical yet heartfelt journeys."

Book One

Rise of the Phantom

For centuries, the realm of Felina thrived in peace, safeguarded by the four Guardians: Alada, Tierra, Coral, and Ember. But everything changed when the mystical Bioluminescent Forest was engulfed in flames, and strange, glitching beasts launched a brutal attack on the Central Village. These formidable creatures, unlike anything seen before, stormed the village with uncanny speed and strength.

​

Yet, the attack was only the beginning. As the smoke cleared, a chilling message appeared on a large boulder: You are now under the command of the Phantom. With this dark threat looming over the land, Alada and Tierra knew they had to protect Felina. Rallying their courage, Alada and Tierra prepared to warn the other villages… until Birch, a trophy-toting nobody with more enthusiasm than skill, insisted on tagging along. Fantastic. Because that’s exactly what they needed.
