Book Synopsis

The Watchers by Deirdra Eden is a sweeping fantasy series that blends myth, history, and adventure into an epic saga of good versus evil. At its center is Auriella, a young orphan who discovers she is part of an ancient race known as the Watchers--immortal beings tasked with safeguarding humanity against the rising tide of darkness. What begins as a personal journey of survival quickly expands into a mythic quest as Auriella is thrust into battles with demons, sorcerers, and armies that threaten to engulf kingdoms.
Eden crafts a world steeped in medieval atmosphere, where castles, knights, and folklore intermingle with angelic beings and supernatural trials. Auriella's journey is not only one of external battles but also of self-discovery, as she wrestles with her identity, her destiny, and the power she must learn to control. With themes of courage, sacrifice, and resilience, The Watchers delivers a timeless tale that will resonate with readers of epic fantasy in the vein of The Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings. Both action-driven and spiritually rich, the series positions Eden's heroine as a beacon of light in a world teetering on the edge of shadow.
