The Guardians

The Guardians

For four hundred years, the truth was hidden in the margins. Now, the ultimate holy grail is about to be destroyed — unless one man can survive the final chapter

1990s    At the height of the English Reformation, a secret was forged. Passed down through centuries, hidden within the pages of the historic Morgan family Bible, lies an ancient, world-shattering truth that powerful men have killed to protect.

For Detective ETHAN MORGAN, the Bible was nothing more than a mythic family heirloom—until the night a ruthless assassin breaks into his home, mistakes his identical twin brother for him, and brutally murders him to steal the artifact. Stripped of his family and consumed by guilt, Ethan is thrust into a breathless, globe-trotting labyrinth of historical conspiracy and corporate malice.

From the shadow of Windsor Castle to the blood-stained soil of Las Vegas, and finally to the historic steeples of Boston’s Old North Church, Ethan faces a terrifying network of destroyers led by a brilliant, unhinged billionaire who turns destruction into live entertainment. To beat a mastermind who plays by a scripted game, Ethan must do the unthinkable: shatter his family’s sacred past to save the future.

In a heart-pounding race against time where the roots of history collide with the cutting edge of modern terror, one question remains: How much of the past must you burn to survive the present?

The Guardians is a masterfully woven, high-stakes historical thriller that explores the heavy price of legacy, the bond of brotherhood, and the enduring war between those who build the world—and those who want to watch it burn.
