Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians, #1)

For fans of STORM AND FURY and MORTAL INSTRUMENTS.

 

It's been over ten years since fifteen-year-old Zoey Taylor wandered away from her family home in the middle of the night. Or so she's been told, repeatedly, by her mother—but the only thing Zoey knows for sure is that when her older brother, Corinth, found her in the woods, safe and unharmed, she returned with a crippling fear of the dark and no other memories from those lost days—except strange flashes of sharp teeth and red-flaming hair.

 

Since that time, she's become a star pupil and is on track to graduate early … if and that's a big IF her overprotective family doesn't get in the way of her dreams first.

 

But when one of the wealthiest, enigmatic philanthropists on the planet—Gabriel Stanton—shows up on her doorstep on Thanksgiving Day, and reveals the truth about what really happened to her all those years ago, it completely shatters her perception of the world.

 

And the story isn't anything like what she's been told.

 

The Ascended Guardians series is a supernatural thrill-ride that never lets up.

 

"Misty Hayes has such a talent with creating wholly different types of characters—good, shades of gray, and evil—I love all of them. I wasn't sure what to expect with Shield & Shade, since certain things had changed in the events of The Blood Dagger Series, but as you can see I can't express exactly how much I adore this book without going full fangirl."

About the Author

Misty Hayes is a professional nerd, young adult fantasy author, and almost-retired cop who spent years chasing bad guys before deciding imaginary ones were more fun. After decades of writing reports (because fiction is the only way to get away with murder), she spends any extra free time she can muster crafting high-stakes adventures filled with magic, mayhem, and the occasional supernatural showdown.

When she's not lost in world-building, Misty enjoys defying pizza norms (pineapple and black olives—fight her), embracing the chaos of retirement planning, and keeping one eye out for plot twists—both in books and in life.

Her Blood Dagger Series is a multiple award-winning, high-octane young adult paranormal trilogy.

Book one, The Outcasts, has earned a Literary Titan Award, an IndieBRAG Medallion, and was the 2018 Solo Medalist Winner of the New Apple Literary Awards for YA Fantasy as well as the 2019 2nd Place Winner of the North Texas Book Festival in YA Fantasy. The sequel, The Watchers, took 2nd Place in the 2020 North Texas Book Festival in Teen Fiction.

Misty's Ascended Guardians Series, a spin-off of The Blood Dagger Trilogy, kicks off with Shield & Shade, available now.
