Finding your own unique strength and courage is a major theme of The Watchers. The characters in this series are as diverse as they come: different nationalities, male, female, dwarf, human, dragon, pixie, noble, peasant orphan, young, aged. Yet, no matter the situation, whether tragic or triumphant, they find ways to grow and develop into something stronger.
The main character, Auriella (Aura), is born and lives in a society and time when girls, especially of her social status, didn't have opportunities for education or growth, let alone a chance to be a hero. The Watchers must learn to work together, despite differences, to defeat Erebus and the Shadow Legion, just as we, no matter our gender, race, age, circumstances, etc., are capable of great things.
Strong
men and women grow in all situations and become heroes when one is
needed. They don't think about it, they just do what's
right.
-Deirdra Eden, author of The Watchers Series
Book Summary
Auriella’s
new life as a royal protector is in shambles. The new king ignores her
warnings of a Shadow Legion invasion and he is determined to marry her
off. Ghosts from her past, the discovery of other Watchers, and a
handsome Scottish warrior throw her off guard and weaken her emotional
defenses. Caught in a web of secrecy and betrayal, Auriella struggles to
control and protect the devastating power of Starfire. A terrible truth
and a fateful choice will lead her to her destiny as the fabled Lady of
Neviah, or could shroud the entire world in eternal
darkness.
Filled
with action, romance, drama, and comedy, Hidden Fire is an addicting
read that you won't want to put down.
