SHROUDED GUARD
​
Living a double life is never easy…especially when it’s shrouded with secrets and lies.
Hayden Mozare never wanted to be in the Guardian’s Guild, let alone the Shrouded Guard—the right-hand man to the Guardian. Especially not at sixteen. But refusal isn’t an option when his abusive uncle is the Guild Master.
​
Balancing the guild’s exhausting training regimen and endless missions with the challenges of being a high school outcast with a “bad boy” reputation, and keeping both identities separate, is hard enough on its own. But when a new girl comes to Banebrook School of Magic, he’s paired with her and a shy classmate for an end-of-year group project. Even as he finds himself growing closer to them thanks to their combined kindness, Hayden knows it can’t last forever. Especially since the Guardian has set his sights on them as potential guild recruits.
The last thing Hayden wants is his new kind-of friends subjected to the hardships of guild life. But how far is he willing to go to protect them if it means risking his own safety and uncovering some of the guild’s darkest secrets along the way?
