Shattered Heart

Guardians are incapable of love.Until I met Anahera–a half-human, half-Guardian–I believed it too. She's lived with me in Lucidis for years, and yet by most of the community is still considered an outcast.I was changed by my experiences on Earth, or so I'm told by other Guardians. But I've never felt more like myself than I have since finding Ana, and having her by my side is a bliss I won't ever give up.Our son, Samael, is coming of age. But as part human himself, it's difficult for him to simply observe humanity when he feels their pain with them. I want Samael to embrace both sides of himself, but he fears becoming an outcast like his mother.Until he too fell in love with a human.How can I tell him it's wrong, when my son is a reflection of me?When the Tenebrian Guardians launch attacks to create chaos on Earth, I try to keep Ana and Samael safe. But they are drawn to Earth and away from the safety of Lucidis in ways I can't fully understand.I'm convinced there's more to the Tenebrians' attacks than it seems.Beyond these concerns, something is happening to Ana's powers. She grows stronger each day.More unpredictable.When Samael goes to Earth against my wishes, and Ana wants to follow, I only hope I can protect them from outside threats…and themselves.
