Publisher's summary

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's The Guardian, Dream-Hunter Lydia has been charged with the most sacred and dangerous of missions: To descend into the Nether Realm and find the missing god of dreams before he betrays the secrets that could kill her and her kind. What she never expects is to be taken prisoner by the Realm's most vicious guardian…

Seth's time is running out. If he can't hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit. No matter the torture, Seth hasn't been able to break the god in his custody. Then there's the beautiful Dream-Hunter Lydia: She isn't just guarding the gates of Olympus—she's holding back one of the world's darkest powers. If she fails, an ancient curse will haunt the earth once more and no one will be safe. But evil is always seductive...

Ms. Kenyon hits another homerun!

I love all of Ms. Kenyon's books in her Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter series. She is the queen of fantasy. I also like the people who are choosen to narrate. The best voices are Fred Berman and Holter Grahamm. Audio books are not just great for listening to while in the car. I enjoy listening while cleaning the house and cooking.

A typical Sherrilyn Kenyon story!

A entertaining and easy listen-to story. Exactly what I needed.
Fred Berman is one of my favorite narrators, even if this storyline is not as challenging as earlier books from Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Why only 3 stars? Acheron and Styx are hard to top!!!

Loved it

Fred Berman rocks with narration
all the inflection and different voices made the characters individually come shining through!

Extremely sad Sherrilyn has been having such a rough personal life. I love her books and hope she can go back to writing for this world she created. Would love to know Jaidens story

This story tugged at my heart strings. I just love the humor and grace this author gives her characters.
