The Guardian

The Guardian

1312, A knight destined to rule... Jareth Tremaine, the first Duke of Dover, has seen how he's remembered in history books-either a saint who rules his lands with justice or a religious extremist whose harsh treatment of the church nearly has him executed. But what history doesn't disclose is that he's essential to the world's survival. After being wounded by ancient Huns using 21st century weapons, a girl is brought to aid his recovery-a girl who would become his duchess and the key to the future of Dover's Amalgam. A 21st century girl whose future has not been written... Elizabet Blackwell isn't surprised by wormholes. What shocks her is the multi-faceted personality of the titled knight. Sir Jareth is a nobleman, translator, surgeon-and he's intent on locating and protecting a host. The host, she discovers, is a boy who practically lives in her backyard 700 years into Jareth's future. The re-scripting of history for the survival of nature's attack on mankind... Together they embark on their life's journey and discover that they must protect each other even as they prepare the host for his destiny. Their quest must be to ensure the boy is secure and hidden from the evil forces who seek to exploit the power he contains.

I really enjoyed the two main characters and the story was very easy to follow, which is important for a time traveling book. The chemistry between Jareth and Elizabet is adorable and they both have admirable hearts of gold! I think that the wormhole thing was a little incomplete to me. Does everyone know time travel exists? How did certain people become travelers? What's some more history on the Guardians and their roles? Aside from some of my over analytical questions, the story is very well written and if you just go with it, it's marvelous!
