Lies of The Guardians
3 primary works
Book 1
The Guardians Protect Us. Or so they claim.
A vision of a strange world. Powers that can heal or destroy. Murder by those they were supposed to trust.
Sierra Runar has lived in the Sphere her entire life. A protective force field is the only thing separating the remnant of humanity from the toxic world the ancients left behind. The Guardians, an ancient artificial intelligence & humankind's saviors, have looked after them ever since. However, after a series of devastating events Sierra realizes the Guardians are not all they claim to be.
Forced to re-evaluate the world around her, Sierra is sent on a quest to find the man who remembers the wars of the ancients. The same wars that left the world a wasteland over two hundred years ago. Through love, loss, friendship and trust, Sierra will need to discover what she's capable of in order to protect a world that wasn't supposed to exist.
Lies the Guardians Tell is the first book in a technology-based, young adult, dystopian series that will have you turning pages as a small band of unlikely heroes struggle to save what's left of humanity.
Book 2
How far would you go to protect life as you know it?
The city of Vegas lies in ruin. The Guardians’ mechanized assault has rained devastation down on the city and its people, halted only by the brave efforts of tentative heroine Sierra Runar. But deactivating the Guardians’ first strike only secures them temporary safety.
Now is the time to regroup, to rebuild, but Sierra knows the cost of her victory. By activating the EMP that saved Vegas, she has condemned the people of the Sphere, the place she used to call home, to suffering. The Spherians, still at the mercy of the oppressive Guardians, know nothing of the world beyond the Sphere’s boundaries, hooked on the lies told to them by their supposed protectors.
Grappling with guilt, and with the life of her own mother in the balance, Sierra is determined to save the Sphere survivors from the clutches of the now sentient Guardian leader, Titan, and learn the truth of her identity. With no other alternative, Sierra and her companions are forced to journey back to the Sphere, where she is faced with a stark choice—could the secrets of her past be the key to preserving humanity’s future?
