ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Karen Hancock has won Christy Awards for each of her first four novels--Arena and the first three books in the Legends of the Guardian-King series, The Light of Eidon, The Shadow Within, and Shadow over Kiriath. She graduated from the University of Arizona with bachelor's degrees in biology and wildlife biology. Along with writing, she is a semi-professional watercolorist and has exhibited her work in a number of national juried shows. She and her family reside in Arizona.


ABOUT THE BOOK

When Lacey McHenry accepts a prestigious research fellowship at the world-renowned Kendell-Jakes Longevity Institute, she sees it as a new start on life. But a disturbing late-night encounter with an intruder leads to an unexpected cover-up by Institute authorities, and she soon realizes there's more going on than she ever imagined.

She finds a supporter in genetics researcher Cameron Reinhardt. However, Reinhardt is a favorite of the Institute's director, and she can't help wondering if he, too, is in on the cover-up. The brilliant but absentminded researcher turns out to have his own secrets, some of them dark and deadly. The Enclave is characterized by adventure, intrigue, spiritual analogy, and romance, all set in an unusual but fully realized world--one that may have its foundations on earth but which, the more one learns of it, doesn't seem much like the earth we know at all.

Return of the Guardian-King

I've read every book Karen Hancock has ever had published, and I've waited more than a year for her series finale Return of the Guardian King.

It was worth the wait.

Hancock whisks you back to the glittering palaces, snow-covered mountain passes, and arid deserts of Kiriath and its surrounding countries. Only a handful of people know King Abramm is still alive. Abramm himself travels incognito with a group of refugees heading for Chesedh. His wife, Maddie, torn between belief and doubt about her husband's rescue, is urged as Chesedh's First Daughter to remarry and form an alliance against Esurh's armies.

Abramm's hope of reuniting with Maddie and regaining the crown of Kiriath fades with each day as the refugees don't recognize him and question every decision. Meanwhile, a charming suitor seeks to win Maddie's heart - and begins to succeed.

Faith battles fear. Growth fights desire. Don't miss this epic saga that has won three Christy awards and is likely to win a fourth.

I'm also a regular reader of Hancock's blog, where she shares insight about her writing life. Find out more about the Legends of the Guardian-King series and its author there and at the blogs below:
