Guardian Heart Crystal

Be careful what you wish for. To save them all a wish was made, only delaying the war rather than ending it. The battle between good and evil has come to an end...or has it? A thousand years separate a young priestess and her five guardians, brothers who have sworn to protect her. A single brother remains with his memories intact, waiting for the time when Hyakuhei, the heart of evil itself, will arise and attempt to steal the very reason for their existence. The priestess suddenly finds herself in the middle of an ancient war, not only between good and evil...but brothers as well.

A young girl, born over a thousand years into the future, accidentally steps into the midst of a war-stricken land, carrying the one thing with her that can heal or destroy their land: a scared crystal known as The Guardian Heart Crystal. As five brothers are drawn to her and become her protectors, the battle between good and evil turns to a battle of the hearts.

The Guardians have always loved and protected their priestess above all else, but when it comes to just whom she belongs to...jealousy can be a dangerous game. Among the immortal brothers, one has always loved her the most. Toya would fight all odds to stay by Kyoko's side, whether it be demons, his brothers, or his love. In a moment of passion, Toya finally claims his heart's desire. That moment is forever changed when Kyoko is taken from his world by the heartless fates above. Believing he is cursed, Toya gives in to his demon blood.

To Kyoko, mythical creatures are something you rent and watch on a Saturday night with your friends. When a mysterious stalker turns the shadows around her into dark corners with sharp deadly edges, will she be able to hide from the past? Darkness has fallen upon the world again and the guardians have been awaiting the resurrection. Though they are thought to be creatures of myth, in this reality they are far more real than people think. Only when the moon is high will these creatures, these guardians, battle the evil that seeks to overtake the world and the girl who holds ultimate power… the light in the heart of darkness.

Kyoko finds herself in the middle of an ageless war between the powerful Guardians and the ultimate Guardian who has become the enemy...a demon lord who holds the power to destroy them all. Secrets are kept, and true hearts are hidden beneath layers of ice and wickedness. Once more, the battle between good and evil begins to blur...sending the destinies of those involved into a most dangerous and seductive form of chaos. When the enemy shows his heart and the ally becomes heartless, these powerful immortals battle their own hearts as well as each other to protect the priestess.

Kyoko was born to fight demons and thought she knew all the rules, until she befriended a half-breed vampire and was accidentally seduced by his master. Realizing that the enemy has a heart, the lines between good and evil become blurred, leaving Kyoko confused and in a world of danger. Now, with an obsessed master vampire stalking her every move and his twin brother starting a vampire war, Kyoko is pulled even closer to the one thing she was supposed to destroy.

Some legends describe him as a god, while others say he is a devil that seeks to kill the gods to gain his freedom. They had given him a name...Darious. His plan was to send every demon back into the pit, and his weapon was the fury that raged within him. Saving the humans who avoided him like a dangerous plague, Darious was stunned to find emerald green eyes staring up at him without fear. Little did Kyoko know that one smoldering glance could tempt a god and blaze his passion that had only known fury.

The guardian brothers are very possessive immortals when it comes to protecting Kyoko from Hyakuhei, from demons, even from herself. But when does it go too far? If the brothers knew they had to kill each other just to be near her, would they do it? If it would allow them to love her, then they would do it in a heartbeat.
