Helen Epilogue
Briar's Cauldron was packed. The six brothers, the whole crew, all of the guardians, Cadi and Helen had really taken over one of the secondary bar rooms in the pub. Briar was certain that she'd need to continue expanding the place as the island grew......

Now that they had all gathered, they made their way up to the main entrance to the heart of the temple. Thanks to the brothers, they knew what was waiting for them there. Through the gates into the central courtyard, Aman was standing in the heart of...
Helen Ch 6
That last week was very difficult. Almost everyone on the island could feel the shared sense of tension among the guardians, but they understood what was at stake. Namely, the well-being of Cadi's daughter and thousands of furs in India. When the...
