Author and Editor extraordinaire! Musician! Egyptology enthusiast! This lady does it all. Come take a peek at the wonderfully talented Nerine Dorman's newest relase, The Guardian's Wyrd:

What people are saying:

I was not sure what to expect with Guardian’s Wyrd. Nerine Dorman is a wonderful author, but it isn’t always easy to go from stories meant for adults, to stories meant for a young adult audience. She accomplished it beautifully. Not only that, but she’s written a story that will appeal to anyone who enjoys Fantasy- regardless of age. – Sherry, Goodreads

The Guardian’s Wyrd is a lovely, sometimes harrowing, sometimes heartbreaking tale of coming of age. Nerine Dorman’s skillful portrayal of Jay will endear him to readers of all ages. Rowan will make readers want to shake him or hug him – sometimes both. – Amy Lee Burgess, author

The author has carefully crafted the character of Jay to be just the right balance of quirky, relatable, sympathetic, and Very Special Indeed. None of this is to say that The Guardian’s Wyrd is derivative – Dorman is far too skilled a writer for that. – Tracie McBride, author

It took me a while to get into The Guardian's Wyrd, not because it's badly written or anything of the sort, it's mostly because I rarely find young adult books that captures so much wonder with such ease. Nerine Dorman is a master wordsmith, a very underrated one in my opinion, and the way she's able to sweep the reader into her tales is astounding. – Monique Snyman, reviewer

About the book:

Sometimes having a fairytale prince as a best friend can be a real pain.

Jay didn't realise that sticking up for Rowan, the gangly new kid at school, would plunge him into the dangers and politics of the magical realm of Sunthyst. But if anyone is up for the challenge it's Jay September. With his trusty dog, Shadow, at his side, he braves the Watcher in the dark that guards the tunnels between the worlds, and undertakes a dangerous quest to rescue the prince.

It's a race against time - can he sneak Prince Rowan away from under King Lessian's nose and bring him safely back home - all before the prince's sixteenth birthday? Or is Rowan's mother, the exiled Queen Persia, secretly trying to hold onto her power by denying her son his birthright?

Jay is ready for anything, except, perhaps, the suffocating darkness of the tunnels. And that howling …
