The Last Guardian
by Paul Mouchet
From unwanted outcast to the last Guardian of the Realm. Some paths are easier than others to follow.
ROSEMARKED ASSASSIN
To save the realm, the king must die.
Sent away as a child for her own safety, Princess Aithlin was raised in a temple of warrior priests, far from the king's reach. Within its grim walls, she was trained in the art of war, the use of magic, and how to deliver justice upon the wicked.
Preparing to deal death from the shadows, the princess finds herself out of her element. Backstabbing companions and unlikely allies make it difficult to tell friend from foe. Her survival will depend on figuring out who she can trust.
With the fate of her younger brother and the future of the kingdom at stake, Aithlin's path is fraught with peril and personal demons. As she embarks upon this righteous mission, a lingering question haunts her—will her quest save her homeland, or will it lead to her own undoing?
The answer lies in a tale of magic, courage, and a battle against impossible odds.

THE OLANDER LEGACY
Princess Aithlin is the last in a line of powerful women guardians. Even if she can survive her grandmother’s training methods, she’ll need more than her magic to save the kingdom.
After the mysterious murder of her father, King Jordain, and the dubious rise of an illegitimate king, Aithlin is forced to enter her kingdom's darkest corridors in search of answers.
To return the throne to its rightful heir, she'll need to navigate a labyrinth of secret societies, corrupt guilds, and relentless bounty hunters—and get it all done in ten short days.
In a city tangled in deception and self-interest, unravelling the knots will be a challenge. Each thread she pulls will reveal insights that will challenge everything she thought she knew about herself, her family, and her legacy.
Restoring order to the kingdom is her goal, but success might come at a great personal cost.

REALM OF ARACHNIELLE
The spider queen covets Princess Aithlin’s magic, and she will go to any length to possess it.
Aithlin, the last guardian, should avoid the realm of the spider queen at all costs, but after her friend is kidnapped, she has no choice but to risk everything to save him.
For the sake of her friend, her family, her kingdom, and the entire world, she must journey into the heart of the enemy’s lair—and do it all without using her magic. And she needs to get it all done in three days so she can get back in time for her brother’s coronation.
This may be a rescue mission, but Aithlin has an ulterior motive, one that’s been a lifetime in the making.
