The Guardians’ Daughter - Paperback
BLURB:
She’s running from a legacy. He’s chasing a dream.
One secret may destroy them both.
In a world of extraordinary abilities, the Guardians stand strong, protecting their city from the dark threats that lurk in the shadows. But their noble mission is shattered when villains ruthlessly murder two of their most beloved members, leaving Ember, the daughter of the slain Guardians, an orphan.
Driven by grief and resentment, Ember's fiery powers reflect her rage as she navigates a city that failed to protect her parents. Determined never to follow in her parents’ footsteps, she sets out on her own journey at university. There, she encounters Aiden, whose unwavering dream to become a Guardian frustrates her. When sparks fly between them, Ember struggles with the undeniable connection that complicates her resolve.
Unbeknownst to Ember, Aiden has his own reasons not to fall in love with her. His dark secret could unravel not only their budding romance, but also expose that the Guardians aren’t as noble as they seem.
Caught in a web of intrigue, betrayal, and unquenchable ambition, Ember and Aiden must confront their pasts while grappling with their feelings for each other. The battle for the city—and their hearts—has only just begun.

BLURB:
Villains aren’t the only ones good at keeping secrets.
Months ago, the city of Stalwarth was left in ruins after the merciless assault by Black Mold and his gang of nefarious villains. Yet, as Ember and Aiden discover, this was merely the prologue to a far darker tale woven into the fabric of their lives.
Driven by an unyielding desire to uncover the truth behind her parents’ brutal murders, Ember delves deeper into a web of deception. With every secret she unearths, the line between friend and foe blurs.
At the same time, Aiden’s dream of becoming a Guardian morphs into a nightmare. As his powers intensify, so does his turmoil. Is he succumbing to the crushing weight of expectations, or could there be a sinister force manipulating his every move?
Together, Ember and Aiden vowed that nothing would sever their bond. But in a world rife with betrayal and peril, keeping that promise will demand greater sacrifices than either of them could have anticipated.

Absolutely loved this book! It’s a fresh take on the superhero genre with a witty tone and romantic twist that I absolutely enjoyed from beginning to end!
— John North, Author of The Crimson Witch
If you are looking for a YA novel filled with love, loss, secrets, and a great female protagonist, this is the read for you!
— Goodreads ReviewerOne thing I loved is how beautifully the author handled mental health. Several characters dealt with depression and anxiety. McPherson offers us a way to experience these elements of mental health in an empathetic, understandable way, showing us how they affect people and how the characters overcome them.
