The Skull Chronicles
Sacred Guardian
Book 2
Previously released as The Red Skull of Aldebaran, June 2013
Deep in the airless underbelly of his palace in a famine-wracked kingdom, an old king sits in torment. In his hands is Gor-Kual, third of the ancient and powerful off-world Skulls of Light.
He faces an impossible choice. If he leaves Gor-Kual sleeping, his people will starve. If he awakens her, he risks the total devastation of his land by an implacable enemy.
As for me, I’m caught up in a nightmare of my own. I can’t see. I can’t breathe. I’m lost. Irretrievably. On the ground, just out of reach, a glassy blue skull stares at me with sightless eyes. A rattle sounds in my throat, and I take my last breath.
Only this isn’t my death. It’s someone else’s. Someone on a continent 5,000 miles away…
