Guardians of Dawn: Zhara -- S. Jae-Jones

<p><b><i>Sailor Moon</i> meets <i>Cinder</i> in <i>Guardians of Dawn: Zhara</i>, the start of a new, richly imagined fantasy series from S. Jae-Jones, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of </b><i><b>Wintersong.</b> <p/></i>Magic flickers.<br>Love flames.<br>Chaos reigns. <p/>Magic is forbidden throughout the Morning Realms. Magicians are called an abomination, and blamed for the plague of monsters that razed the land twenty years before. <p/>Jin Zhara already had enough to worry about--appeasing her stepmother's cruel whims, looking after her blind younger sister, and keeping her own magical gifts under control--without having to deal with rumors of monsters re-emerging in the marsh. But when a chance encounter with an easily flustered young man named Han brings her into contact with a secret magical liberation organization called the Guardians of Dawn, Zhara realizes there may be more to these rumors than she thought. A mysterious plague is corrupting the magicians of Zanhei and transforming them into monsters, and the Guardians of Dawn believe a demon is responsible. <p/>In order to restore harmony and bring peace to the world, Zhara must discover the elemental warrior within, lest the balance between order and chaos is lost forever.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> S.
