What the hell is a guardian and why does everyone think I am one? I’ve been running for centuries and finally decided enough is enough. If Alaric wants me then he can come and get me. Without his assassin to do his dirty work he might have to make an effort to bring me back to Hell. It has been months since I outed myself and here I am dress shopping for a teenager as if my life might not fall apart at any moment. It was almost a relief when a water dragon exploded into my life and I’m confronted by the Matriarch of a species thought to be extinct. With the council on its way to Chicago to confront me and the Hunters making a move against supernaturals, I find myself undercover and facing an old enemy. Who am I kidding? I’m loving life right now.
