Racing Eternity: Book 1 of the Guardians Trilogy (Volume 1)

Twin princesses Sariella and Parissa Isamar are naturally best friends- that is, until that fateful day, when a lurking prophecy sets them apart. Soon, Sari is banished from Marvyn and Parissa is left grief-stricken. Years later, Sari has grown into a fighter, having a job wrestling at a bustling tavern to support herself and her best friend, Lilla. Sari is doing quite well, but under all her self-confidence is hatred- hatred aimed at Parissa. Meanwhile, life goes on for Parissa as well. Parissa is now embroiled in politics, with Marvyn on the brink of war with Volkan- and that does not bode well for Marvyn. So on her fifteenth birthday, Volkan Prince Anden Greynal arrives not only to celebrate it, but to hopefully make a truce as well. But soon everything changes when an infamous disease, the Eternity Plague, once warded off by famous magician Taero Shie, comes back after eleven years. Things are disastrous for Sari when Lilla is diagnosed with this disease, and Lilla's chances of survival are very slim. But soon Sari hears of a cure that Taero Shie left in his wake- and so does Parissa. Immediately Parissa's father sends her and Anden on a quest together to find the cure to the Eternity Plague. From that moment on, Sari and Parissa find themselves in a race against each other to find the cure first. Sari soon recruits the help of Ward Shie, Taero's son, who harbors many secrets. In the meantime, Anden's brutal nature makes Parissa become more and more skeptical of Anden. What is the secret Ward is keeping close? Is Anden to be trusted? And who will get to the cure first? ***Note: This is only the first half of the book. The full book will be released in Summer 2012.
