<br />
Darshun Luthais, a young but powerful Nasharin Warrior learns he’s the
fulfillment of the two thousand year old Prophecy of the Guardian. The Wizard
Olchemy informs him that he’s the protector and guardian the earth has been
waiting for. <br />
<br />
After Darshun experiences betrayal by Aurora, the woman he
loves, he is imprisoned by the Dark Queen. Inside the bowels of the Dark Castle
Asgoth, Darshun then meets a powerful Elf and is healed by her light.
<br />
<br />
Against better judgment, he arrogantly fights Abaddon the Demon Lord. He is
nearly killed and the powers of the Dark believe he is dead. All of the crystals
indeed end up in the clutches of the Demon Lord. <br />
<br />
After falling into the
river of death, he is pulled out. He receives some healing and again, sets out
to join his companions to finish the battle against the Demon’s armies. <br />
<br />
Can
Darshun stop the dark from destroying all Light on the earth?<br />
<br />
Purchase for your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crossing-Forbidden-Guardian-Series-ebook/dp/B00FP53P5W/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1381905438&sr=1-2">kindle here! </a><br />
<br />
A great review by an Amazon Customer! :)<br />
<br />
"The adventure continues in Crossing Forbidden Lines, the second book of the
Guardian series and what an excellent continuation it is, it took off perfectly
from the last book in the series!<br />
<br />
Darshun is now back after visiting a
sacred island to help bring forth his powers to a stronger level so he can
defeat the Dark. Not much has changed since he left, but war is upon them and he
feels as ready as ready can be for any and all that comes his way. But what can
he possible do if his mind is elsewhere? Once again our dear Darshun gets side
tracked and some perish due to his absence of both physical and mental presence
for the fight. He know finds himself in a place he does not want to be and feels
as if he is destined to fail all.<br />
<br />
This book had me laughing as well as
crying quite a few times for many of the characters and their dealings. It also
had me holding onto my seat in suspense as to what would happen next. J.W,
Baccaro kept it going strong and I CANNOT wait to see what happens next with
Darshun and his comrades!"<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I remember the first pumpkin ale I ever saw in the

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In case you’re wondering…”pumpkin in beer?!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s actually a three hundred year old
recipe, though I doubt there were loads of spices in the them like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger

colonists of that era would use pumpkins and squash for the malt of their brew.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

always be!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They might be right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a really hard time choosing between
this beer and the one I picked for first place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although I have to disagree with what the majority of people say about
this ale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I in NO WAY find it like a
pumpkin pie in a glass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the only
reason people say that is because of this beer’s unique smell and aftertaste of
a rich graham cracker crust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What you
get with this baby is a nice refreshing taste of pumpkin, vanilla and graham
cracker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know how they do
that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like a pumpkin orgasm in the mouth!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice are
almost hiding in the background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
glad for that because too many pumpkin beers like to throw those spices in your face
immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It
seems I’m about to contradict my words above. This beer is mega-spice in your
face!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like the Mistress of Fall has
tied you up, is holding your mouth open with one hand while holding the spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and
ginger in her other, then blows the mixture right down your throat!
(Did that make sense?) However, it works!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, this is my personal favorite pumpkin ale baby! You get ALL the
spices of pumpkin pie—overwhelmingly, a nice smooth taste of pumpkin, and also
that alcohol burn of a rich beer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s
why I think it works. You know it’s a beer!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

My name is Jason W Baccaro and I am the author of the Guardian series--an epic/dark fantasy saga of five installments.<br />
<br />
For those of you who may recall, the series was once known as "Guardian of the Seventh Realm." But...I am no longer with my previous publisher.<br />
<br />
After hooking up with the amazing <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Books-by-Leanore-Elliott/lm/R3ELV11ZSQT7H2">Leanore Elliot</a> (a professional editor and kick-arse paranormal romance author), I have re-released the old series...and thanks to Leanore it is now MUCH smoother. Yes, I got to work with a REAL editor this time around, someone who actually cares about other writers and their work.<br />
<br />
Now, the new cover followed by a little synopsis about book one "Guiding the Blue Flame" (formerly known as "Prophecy of the Guardian")<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Darshun Luthais, an
inexperienced martial artist of the Nasharin, a mystical sorcerer race, is the
newly proclaimed Guardian of the Forbidden Realm. If the hardships of seeking
four magical crystals before they fall into malevolent hands weren’t enough, he
must also deal with the inner struggles of his heart. Forced by fate to choose
between the roles of guardianship or prolong his romantic connection with the
woman he loves. Despite warnings from the wizened Mirabel, his father, Darshun
leans toward his love life, ignoring the possible threats which might endanger
the company of the quest.<br />
<br />
Furious with Darshun’s incompetence, one amongst the company, Nayland, reveals
to Darshun why he hates him so passionately, and attempts to kill him. Almost
bested by this enraged dark warrior, he’s then rescued by his father. Darshun
soon realizes things are not always what they appear to be, and begins to take
his guardianship role more solemnly. He’s compelled to journey to a deadly,
mystical island to perfect his skills—seven years of training and hardship in
another realm. If he endures the hellish rigors of the Island, he will return
to his quest after only a day passing in the earthly realm, in hopes it will
better prepare him for the darker times to come."</span><br />
