A Mighty Chieftain

Romancing the Guardians #8

by Lyn Horner

Lara Flewellen, the High Guardian of Danu, faces a lethal test. Can she defeat the vicious Hellhounds or will they force her and the other six Guardians to hand over the prophetic scrolls they and their ancestors have safeguarded since ancient times? Balor, the Hellhound leader, and his followers have discovered the Guardians’ sanctuary in Canyon de Chelly, heart of the Navajo Nation. Trapped along with their mates and their native protector, the Guardians must run from one hiding place in the canyon to another using their supernatural powers and raw courage to survive. Fear and suffering are their constant companions. Tearing Lara apart, Balor holds her twin sister prisoner, threatening her life. How can she save her twin and uphold her vow to guard the sacred prophecies at the same time? It seems impossible. A desperate prayer to Danu the Great Mother may bring a miracle . . . or catastrophe.

They have been tasked with their duties and their relics long ago, their locations a secret even to each other, but the signs have shown that it is time for the good to battle evil, but will it be for the last time? Can the seven Guardians protect the scrolls from the Hellhounds?

Gathered in one place, the sacred heart of the Navajo nation, they are hidden until they can devise a plan and prepare for battle, each with their own special gifts, their mates by their sides.

The evil Balor, leader of the Hellhounds has discovered their hideaway through a special bond between the High Guardian, Lara and her twin sister. Now Lara must choose to betray her vow or save her sister, the cost is too great to fail…

Lyn Horner’s A MIGHTY CHIEFTAIN is filled with shocking surprises, tested loyalties and a game of cat and mouse between the forces of Good and Evil. Will the Guardians have help against the army of Hellhounds or must they rely on their gifts alone?

Once again, Lyn Horner blends romance, suspense and the supernatural in the culmination of her Guardians series. Each book has led to this moment, and each character is back, enriched with more details as the tension mounts!

The Mighty Chieftain by Lyn Horner

The Hellhounds have located the Guardians’ in Canyon de Chelly. It’s just a matter of time before they find their sanctuary. They do their best to defend Leon Tseda’s home when Balor arrives with his Hellhound minions. Despite their guardian powers the small tribe end up on a run for their lives to protect their individual prophetic Druid scrolls, which have been guarded by their ancestors for centuries. They run farther into the Navajo land where their survival skills are tested.

This is an exciting adventure where prayers to The Great Mother Goddess, Danu, may be their only hope. As they head deeper into the canyon complex named Canyon del Muerto, Canyon of the Dead, Lara Spenser is faced with coming to terms with some hard truths and some unexpected twists in the story line.

I have to admit this book left me with a few questions. However, it is a unique and entertaining read with an interesting ending. I also love the striking book cover.

FYI: “The Mighty Chieftain” is book 8 and the culmination in Lyn Horner’s Romancing the Guardians Series. I do believe it is necessary to read the other books in this series. **Originally written for "BigAl’s Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy.** December 13, 2018
