3. Tell us about your family. What do you like and not like about them?
My youngest brother I am very proud of. He is a great father and husband, a man of few words and his family comes first. My wife Lenka and I are waiting for our first child.

5. What is your occupation?
I think I am a writer.

6. What are your best and worst qualities?
That would be for those who know me to answer. I don't think any person can really give an honest answer here. I have a lot of patience when teaching people and I am very loyal to those who are good to me. I am usually refered to as big brother by a lot of people.

7. What quality do you value most in a romantic partner?
Loyalty and them trusting me.

8. What is your favorite thing to do?
Aikido

9. What is your greatest fear?
That people will not learn to stop fearing the unknown or actually learning from history instead of just reading it on the dead pages it is written on.

10. What is your most treasured possession?
My guitar that my father bought me. He bought it when he did not really have enough money to spare and I have kept it all of these years.

Choices:
This book is written in such a way that it can be read as a stand alone or after the first book of the series- The Guardian. After so much more loss Adela finds herself in the middle of a love triangle and the fight for the head of Covens.

Adela and John both have their fair share of choices to make. Adela must think of her coven, but at the same time she feels a burning desire for her great, great niece's Guardian John. She is torn because though fate has blessed her great, great niece with a Guardian that is connected to her by Mother Earth to protect her from anything, she keeps rejecting him. John is torn between the woman he is fated to and Adela. He fears that it is Adela's powers of seduction that is tempting him. He feels a desire to protect Gala, but also feels a yearning for Adela. At the same time Adela must search for the secret journal known as the Guardian journal and protect those she loves from the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
