Synopsis
The Guardians Protect Us. Or so they claim.
A vision of a strange world. Powers that can heal or destroy. Murder by those they were supposed to trust.
Sierra Runar has lived in the Sphere her entire life. A protective force field is the only thing separating the remnant of humanity from the toxic world the ancients left behind. The Guardians, an ancient artificial intelligence & humankind's saviors, have looked after them ever since.
However, when she has a vision of a strange world with blue skies, a series of devastating events leads Sierra to realize the Guardians are not all they claim.
Forced to reevaluate the world around her, Sierra is sent on a quest to find 'the man who remembers the wars'. The only problem is, the wars were two hundred years ago, and the world has been a toxic wasteland ever since. Through love, loss, friendship and trust, Sierra will need to discover what she's capable of in order to protect a world that wasn't supposed to exist.
Lies the Guardians Tell is the first book in a technology-based, young adult, dystopian series that will have you turning pages as a small band of unlikely heroes struggle to save what's left of humanity.
