Sailor Moon meets Cinder in Guardians of Dawn: Zhara the start of a new richly imagined
fantasy series from S. Jae-Jones the New York Times bestselling author of Wintersong. Magic
flickers. Love flames. Chaos reigns. Magic is forbidden throughout the Morning Realms.
Magicians are called an abomination and blamed for the plague of monsters that razed the land
twenty years before. Jin Zhara already had enough to worry about-appeasing her stepmother's
cruel whims looking after her blind younger sister and keeping her own magical gifts under
control-without having to deal with rumors of monsters re-emerging in the marsh. But when a
chance encounter with an easily flustered young man named Han brings her into contact with a
secret magical liberation organization called the Guardians of Dawn Zhara realizes there may
be more to these rumors than she thought. A mysterious plague is corrupting the magicians of
Zanhei and transforming them into monsters and the Guardians of Dawn believe a demon is
responsible. In order to restore harmony and bring peace to the world Zhara must discover the
elemental warrior within lest the balance between order and chaos is lost forever.
