Theria Guild Guardian: Code and Courage (Volume One)
by Elly Ann
When monsters destroy his family, a gifted teen trades his future for the power to fight back.
Description:
In the empire of Afrotheria, survival is a privilege, not a promise.
For over a century, ghost wraiths, massive, night-colored beasts, have erupted from volcanic scars in storms of thunder, leaving entire provinces in ruin. To endure, Afrotheria forged a rigid nine-class society, where every citizen’s future is decided before adulthood, and changing your fate is nearly impossible.
Zev Mablevi was never meant to be a warrior. A prodigy in Science and Tech, he dreams of innovation, not bloodshed, spending his nights coding in a hidden virtual world while preparing for a prestigious corporate apprenticeship. Then a single wraith reckoning destroys his village, killing his brothers and ripping his sister from his life, and Zev learns a brutal truth: justice doesn’t belong to the powerless.
With the authorities unwilling and unable to help, Zev makes an unthinkable choice. He abandons his future and joins the Theria Guild, Afrotheria’s elite protectors, guardians trained to face horrors no one else survives. To find his sister, he must become the very thing he never wanted to be.
As Zev is reforged into a Guardian, a parallel race against extinction unfolds.
Dalia Taj, daughter of the newly elected Elderon, is developing forbidden biotech that could end the wraiths forever, using code unknowingly supplied by Zev himself. Between secret research, corporate conspiracies, and truths buried near the volcanic heart of the empire, Afrotheria teeters on the edge of salvation or collapse.
Because monsters don’t just come from the dark.
Sometimes, they’re built.
