To find the assassin responsible for murdering her family, Lucianna Castien is willing to do anything. Even commit treason.
Once Cia learns a wanted felon may have the answers she seeks, she sets off unaccompanied to the hazardous Uninhabited Zone of New Columbia. Still training to become a guardian, she's unprepared for the confrontation with one of Sziveria's most dangerous criminals. All hope of finding the truth is lost when she's thrown into a cell and left for dead.
Complicated missions are nothing new for Deklan Ralston, the Arch Guardian of Wolvenguard. Bonded to three wolves, Deklan makes quick work of even the worst situations. Rescuing a wayward guardian and returning an escaped convict, will prove to be no challenge. But the beast master didn't count on the young woman turning his entire world upside down.
Tenacious, sexy, and refusing to take no for an answer, Cia continues to run headlong into danger. Deklan must do everything in his power to keep her safe, even as he opposes his nature to claim her for his own. A fight Cia is determined he lose as she convinces the arch guardian the passion smoldering between them is worth igniting....
Wolvenguard by Sarah Westill is the sizzling bonding of two lost souls.
Will Cia and Deklan learn to trust each other even when faced with life-threatening danger?
Luicanna Castien
Lucianna, or Cia, as her friends call her, is part of the intel team under Wintersfall. She is young, and everyone looks at her as if she doesn’t know her own mind. Which isn’t fair. No one should be judged by age; their merit should determine their worth. I like Cia and think her will is stronger than most expect.
The one thing I can say about her is once she makes up her mind, she is not likely to change it. Avenging her family was extremely important to her. I found that extremely honorable and a bit foolish. Still, I was rooting for her to get the person responsible.
Delkan Ralston
Delkan is the Arch Guardian of Wolvenguard. His high rank means he has lots of responsibility, power, and the ability to command a Ruthenian wolf, or in his case, three wolves. Delkan is an anomaly among the current population, and it has tainted his past love life. He doesn’t trust women easily. So, when he is dispatched to collect the fugitive, Joel Blackbain, and the Guardian Castien, that has gone off on her own to bring Joel back, he finds that he is attracted to her in ways that he hasn’t been before.
Delkan is an honorable man. I liked getting to know him better. The stories before didn’t do justice to the type of person that he is. I think that Delkan had to come to terms with more than the age gap between them. 
The Story
I loved that this installment brought some of the original team back into the light. It lets us catch up with them and know that they are still in the game.
Then, there is the V Alliance. We learn a bit more about them and how they work. Through our team’s journey, we see more of the world that is left, and we get a bit of Ruthenian history. Ms. Westill does a fantastic job of building the world and the differences in cultures based on locations, weather, and what was left for the population in the different locations. Oh, and the sizzle is beyond scorching.
Five Stars
My rating for Wolvenguard by Sarah Westill is five stars. I sat down to read this morning, and I couldn’t put it down. This book is amazing! If you like hot romances with mystery, suspense, and a bit of supernatural, this book is for you. Seriously, check out Wolvenguard and the other Guardians of Sziveria.

About Sarah Westill
Hello! Allow me to introduce myself to the universe, I am Sarah Westill. Christian, wife, mother, author, novice artist, professional photographer, graphic designer (this is actually my ‘real’ job), and teacher!
I homeschool our youngest for a few more months as he transitions from 6th to 7th grade, then I’m sending him to private school for actual 7th grade.
I also dabble in art. I love watercolors and have been tinkering with acrylic for a medium. I discovered I have a minor obsession with Golden paints, and have been investing in the primary colors that are in the same family (warm and cool) to make my own beautiful colors.
I absolutely LOVE to teach littles art. 2nd grade is my favorite. In addition to wanting to please, they actually still listen to instruction at this age and are so proud of themselves when they complete any portion. They aren’t hard on themselves yet, they don’t self-criticize. We can learn a lot from a 2nd grader. They also respond very well to praise and positive reinforcement.
On top of my writing, and my art dabblings, I’m also a semi-professional photographer. I say semi-pro because I haven’t had any official training, aside from working with actual pro-photographers, who helped me learn the ins and outs of exposure, composition, posing and depth of field. I absolutely adore portrait photography. Being able to capture a very human story, a moment in time for a new mother, a new marriage, is such an amazing opportunity and honor.
My job that helps pay for my path to self-publishing is a graphic designer. I’m a cover artist. Long story, but I work under the name Elaina Lee. A lot of people know Elaina the cover artist. I’m proud of that, and really blessed to have worked with hundreds of authors over the span of an entire decade.
I am excited to be starting this journey. To introduce to you my world, my Guardians, and the stories the characters have urged me to write. I hope you enjoy reading them over the coming years as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
