Ethan lives a secret life as a Guardian of the Named.

Under the guidance of Arkarian, his mentor, and with the help of Isabel, his unlikely but highly capable apprentice, Ethan has become a valued member of this other-wordly corps. As the only defense against the evil Order of Chaos, the Named travel through time to prevent the Order from altering history and thereby gaining power in the present and the future.

As the threat from the Order intensifies, secrets of the past are revealed and villains and heroes exposed. This gripping fantasy is set in modern times, but is infused with intrigue from the past, super-natural characters and surprising plot twists. Curley has written a winner through to the end-an ultimate confrontation with evil.

Reviews
"Magic blooms in Angel Falls, the setting of this promising launch to Curley's time travel trilogy. Told in convincing alternating chapters . . . readers will likely be swept up by the ever-growing complications and want to return for the series' next installments." -Publishers Weekly "Protecting the time stream is hardly an innovative concept in fantastic fiction, but Curley pulls it off with panache. Anguished heartbreak and suppressed longing are bound to continue to spice up the history-hopping sword-and-sorcery, making the sequels an ongoing guilty pleasure."-Kirkus Reviews
