Power Rising: Guardian From Trandor Series #2

By Phoenix Halloway

She survived the battle. Her enemies survived too. And now they know exactly what she is capable of.

Kiara's powers are no longer a secret. After the events aboard the Acadia, the galaxy has seen what a trandorian Guardian can do- and every corrupt government and ancient enemy that has been watching from the shadows has taken notice.

The problem is Kiara can barely control what she has. The abilities that saved the crew are growing faster than she can contain them. Untrained, unpredictable, and increasingly powerful, she is as dangerous to the people she loves as she is to the enemies closing in around her.

Reuniting with Jax and deepening her bond with her drayek Elvis, Kiara finally meets others from Trandor - and what she learns about her people, her bloodline, and the role she was born to play is darker and more urgent than anything she was prepared for.

New alliances are forming. Old ones are fracturing. And the question that has followed Kiara since the moment she was pulled from that destroyed ship has become impossible to avoid:

Will she embrace what she was born to become - or will the weight of it destroy everything she has built?
