Guard, Protect, and Above All, Stay AliveTwo months after the announcement that rocked the entire world, Mari Jorgenson is going undercover to protect the man who has become the face of the Unbounded. What's not to like? Expensive clothes, a great disguise, a chance to play with knives-and all with a Renegade partner she might just be falling for. Mari can't think of a better assignment for practicing her shifting ability. But when everything goes horribly wrong on the first day, it will take everything she has-and more-if she and her friends are to keep humanity's best hope for peace alive long enough to unite the world. Along the way, Mari glimpses within herself a darkness that threatens to turn her into the very evil she is fighting. Join Mari, Keene, Jace, Cort, and other Renegades from the main Unbounded series as Mari shifts through an adventure that will ultimately set the stage for the greatest and final battle with the Emporium. Praise for the UNBOUNDED series: "Enough paranoid twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages . . . the author has clearly thought through the nuances of the story's theme and engineered a few surprising plot twists that elevate it . . . above the level of the average thriller." -Publishers Weekly "Excellent and well written!" "I recommend reading the entire series" "Thoroughly enjoyable" "High action and adventure" "Teyla Branton belongs right alongside Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, Jennifer Estep, and Kelly Armstrong."
