friends have joined forces to stop her.
Doyle Mac Cleirich - soldier and reluctant immortal
- has always vowed never to return home. But when
his search for the final star leads him to Ireland, it
becomes clear that fate has other plans.
Solitary by inclination, Doyle is also fighting his
growing attraction to archaeologist Riley Gwin. His
warrior spirit is drawn to the wild - and there’s no one
more familiar with the wild than Riley.
As the six guardians face their final challenge, Riley
and Doyle are prepared to risk their lives in battle. But
without love to sustain them, the quest is doomed to
failure...
The dramatic conclusion to the Guardians trilogy - a
novel of love, magic and friendship set in County

Roberts.
