The girl he loves doesn’t know he exists, and the BBOC (Big Bully On Campus) takes particular delight in tormenting him.

On Halloween night, Trey learns the meaning of the old adage: Be careful what you wish for! Set on the campus of Cumber Academy, an all-boys prep school in New England that is about to go co-ed, Guardians is a tale about the ultimate temptation: immortality, and a young man’s quest to be more than he’s ever been before. |
