Princess Yulana does her best to balance being the First Daughter of the Gommun Kang with her duties as the Guardian of Wind.
Yuli, Zhara, and Ami are three of the Guardians of Dawn, legendary magicians who are reborn when the forces of order and chaos are out of balance. Aided by a secret network of supporters, they’ve been protecting magicians while searching for the missing fragments of the Songs of Order and Chaos, the book that will help them defeat the Mother of Ten Thousand Demons. When another kang threatens her family’s position, Yuli must step forward to compete against her best-friend-turned-rival, Maltak Kho, in the Grand Game to determine who will lead the northern territory. Yuli, Zhara, and Ami are also trying to find a cure for the strange waking dreamer sickness and defeat the Moth Demon to seal the northern portal to help stop the affliction. With the fate of the Morning Realms resting on her shoulders, can Yuli strike a balance between navigating politics and defending the world against chaos? This third installment in the Guardians of Dawn series is just as engaging and magical as its predecessors. The intriguing characters, who represent diverse aspects of identity, are one of the story’s biggest strengths; their portrayals feature well-written banter, relationships, and character arcs. With in-depth worldbuilding and exciting action, this entry will leave fans begging for the next installment.
Fast-paced, immersive, and delightfully dramatic; a strong addition to the series.
