The Guardians: Forest of Ancestors (Volume 1)

Working in the shadows elite covens of warrior witches battle against a race of entities known as the D’thseh, creatures whose intent is to feed of the pain, misery and suffering they inflict on non-magicals they attach themselves to. Eli and his kin are part of just such a coven. After breaking up with his girlfriend, Eli immerses himself completely into the role. When a prominent member of his coven is brutally murdered, Eli and his friends find that they must prepare themselves for a battle unlike anything they have ever had to face before. With the resurfacing of the Dark Ones, a faction of witches that practice dark magic, Eli must not only face the oncoming storm, he must face the demons of his covens past.
