Priestess Bound - Guardians of Sky and Shadow, #2

Phoebe is the fated priestess, a channel for magic, whether she likes it or not. She has little power of her own-or does she? A piece of golden jewelry might hold the key to a plot to suppress the priestess' true magic. Until she can find the secrets, however, she has to stay alive and keep her four guardians in line:Sir Forrest, her grumpy and reluctant but truly devoted protector;Gilbert the bard, who fell in love with the Prince of Gaermon before he discovered his true fate;Niko the Lucky Dragon, an arrogant smuggler who bows to no one but won't make a move without rolling his dice;and one who is her sworn enemy, but thanks to the magic, Phoebe can't resist him-and he can't resist her.
All her guardians have been found, but this is just the beginning. Who is a friend and who is a foe? What are the Shadow Guardians, really? The Emperor wants her dead, but even the Elders have not told the entire story.
