The Order of the Guardians

Leyla Gray has been having nightmares, visions, and worst of all, she has been seeing people who aren’t really there. She tells herself it’s just the stress of her ending college semester and lack of sleep from studying. However, on returning from her break when she is almost kidnaped, she quickly realizes she’s not crazy.

Saved by a man she thought was just another college student—who apparently wears armor and carries two swords—she doesn’t know what to think, especially when the man whom she thought was just a hallucination appears as well.

What is she to think of her two new protectors claiming to be Guardians? Saved by the Angel of Death himself to watch over men and women who die tragically young, choosing to either save them or to let fate play out and give them a peaceful death instead, Leyla tries to understand why they would want to protect her as she learns that there is magic in her world both good and evil.

Will Leyla find out what she, a seemingly normal mortal, has to do with the Guardians and the demonkinds bent on capturing her?

RL West grew up in Texas, though with separated parents, she also spent time in Colorado, and Missouri where she was born. She presently lives in Texas with her husband and two lively young daughters and their cat, Pumpkin. Growing up with a single mom, she had to put her dreams on hold as the youngest child. She grew up fast, always working and providing for her family. However, she has been writing stories since she was young, and after some encouragement from friends and family, she decided it was time to follow her dream of becoming an author. They say only the good die young, and I think it’s to give the rest of us more time to become good. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know that some of the young we lost are not dead but reborn to become powerful guardians watching over others like them? That’s a world RL West has created, and she can’t wait to share it with her readers. Her series, The Order of the Guardians, follows Leyla Gray as she fights both good and evil to make her own way. Both Guardians and demonkinds are after her, and it won’t be as easy as she thinks to avoid her destiny.
