Guardian: The Killing Cure Origins
What if Ponce de Leon was right, and there truly exists a fountain of youth somewhere? Would you take a drink? Indeed, everything you've heard is true, but only half-true. Such a fountain exists, and the water gives life. But it demands it too. Once a sip is taken, the waters within come calling, awakening a need within those who have had a drink to kill so the water can replenish the stores of life giving power flowing from the fountain. But there is a safeguard--a family who has passed down guardianship of the water from generation to generation. Guardian tells the story of Norman, who struggles to come into his new role and ultimately makes a decision that will alter the course for those across the generations who have taken a drink from the deadly spring.

"Guardian: The Killing Cure Origins" by C.S. Kendall is a very swift prequel to The Killing Cure series.
The third person narrative takes us back to 1844 and follows 50 year-old Norman, as he embarks on his new life as Guardian of a very special spring. In just a few pages we are completely transported into his world, and gain quite an insight into the water itself. I found myself emotionally involved with the lives of the Guardians and eager to discover what happened following the seemingly significant event that takes place in late 1865.
If you are into supernatural dark and mysterious tales, give it a try - download Guardian: The Killing Cure Origins FREE from Amazon.com or from the author's website, where you can also get the first eight chapters of book one, "The Killing Cure: Drink".
UPDATE: For a limited time read the whole series thus far completely FREE!

Love love love! Now this is a juicy little peek into the premise of the series. The guardians are a wicked group, they are! Having read the first book then gone backward to read the prequel, I wish there’d been more of this storyline in official book one. I’m looking forward to what books 2 and 3 hold.

It's been a while since I read this but I loved it! It had twists and turns that surprised me, which I LOVE!

You definitely have to read book one to understand what's going on in this novella. In book one, we get a hint of how Rose ended up on the island before it was her turn to do so, but in the prequel novella we get the whole story. I really enjoyed it, and I have to say I looked at Rose with a little more empathy after I read this.
