Red Hernandez, trying to reboot her life, finds herself caught in the middle of stopping an apocalyptic invasion of Earth by magic-wielding aliens. The Guardian of The Palace combines characters from traditional fantasy and drops them in a modern setting. Red Hernandez, a woman with a sketchy past in the military, lands a job as a security lead in a modern marvel of construction in Manhattan. For reasons uncovered through the story, her building is targeted for destruction by forces from another realm. In Book 1 of this 4-book series (I know, who does a 4-book series…), Red attempts to discover the plans of the invaders and try to stop them from taking a foothold on Earth.
