Wicked shadows. Hidden powers. A secret society as old as time.

Confront your worst nightmare or lose your best friend forever? Talk about a lose-lose situation.

The darkness appears unannounced. It lays in wait, ready to attack, ready to maim. It never backs down. I would know, since the day the shadows attacked me twelve years ago, I've lived in terror that everyone will discover just how insane I am. So every second, of every minute, of every day I pretend. I play the part of Becca Grayburn: sane, inconspicuous, normal. I nail the role better than any A-lister in Hollywood.

At least I did, until Gabe DiAngello, Chico High's star point guard, creates a swirling vortex of darkness that assaults Gwyne, my best friend, activating her wicked alter ego. As if my nightmare life isn't bad enough, Gabe starts haunting my every step. With that olive skin and Rat-Pack grin, why does he have to be the Master of Shadows and Gwyne's crush?

Now, even if it means falling headlong into insanity, I have to find answers, I have to face my deepest fears. I have no choice. If I don't, it means losing Gwyne forever. And I will save her, no matter the cost.

GATEKEEPER is the thrilling first installment of The Guardians of Orendria Series. A coming of age YA paranormal urban fantasy. With swoon worthy moments, jaw-dropping revelations, and a cast of character you'll wish are your best friends, it will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments, The Raven Boys, and Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
