Irene Radford's GUARDIAN OF THE FREEDOM, the fifth book chronicling Merlin's descendants has one of the Kirkwood family going to a nation in the throes of birth: the soon-to-be-United States.
Ths book tells the story of who would have become the next Guardian, a sworswoman and magic user, migrating to America to fight an ancient enemy of the Kirkwood family.
The story weaves cleverly around the burgeoning revolution, a demon, and a man who goes from uneasy ally to the love of her life, while her sister fights the same enemy's long reach in the ancestral home.
Who will become the next Guardian? How will the Kirkwood family deal with this latest crisis in the balance against good and evil?
The book was riveting, and fascinating, though I do have one disappointment: no sixth novel. I would have loved to see this series brought into the current day!
Perhaps, one day, Ms. Radford will see this series evolve again...and I would look forward to this.
