Hope and the Guardians

Some powers are given. Others are awakened. And some… refuse to die.

Hope Vilar never asked to be chosen. He never asked for a mark that binds light and decay, for a destiny written long before he was born, or for the monsters that crawl out of the dark seeking his soul. But when tragedy tears his world apart and ancient forces awaken, Hope discovers the truth:

He is the vessel they’ve waited for.

The balance between life… and what devours it.

Haunted by visions, hunted by a creature older than death, and carrying the weight of a power he can’t control, Hope must face a fate he is terrified to claim. The guardian bound to his tattoo warns of an enemy rising—the Harbinger of Rot—whose influence spreads like plague beneath the surface of their world.

And as Hope’s grandmother fades, as nightmares bleed into reality, and as shadows hunt the people he loves, one truth becomes clear:

If Hope falls, the world rots with him.

But Hope is not alone.

A girl returned from the edge of death.

A guardian forged from light.

A destiny that refuses to let him walk away.

The war between creation and decay has begun.

And Hope’s heart—broken, burdened, and burning with something ancient—may be the only thing powerful enough to stop the darkness…

or unleash it.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Shadowhunters, and The School for Good and Evil, Hope and the Guardians: Book 2is a gripping blend of magic, danger, heartbreak, and fate. Dive into a world where every choice matters, every mark has meaning, and even the smallest spark of hope can change everything.
