The Guardians of Kawts

Available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover

Fear looms over the mountainside town where Timothy Hawthorne lives, its people living each day in dread of the dangerous anarchists hiding somewhere in the foothills nearby. Fortunately for the people of Kawts, the Council is there to protect them from this threat. Under their able leadership, Kawts is safe.

But not everything is as perfect as it seems. It’s been nearly a year since Quill lost The Race, leaving his best friend Timothy with a mysterious wooden box and a host of unanswered questions. Although Timothy has tried to move on from his friend’s death, the unusual circumstances of Quill’s last days continue to haunt him. When Timothy is caught up in the middle of a raid on the Kawts Library, he realizes that there is more going on in Kawts than meets the eye. As he begins to dig deeper, he uncovers a web of deception and intrigue that involves many of his closest friends. As the truth about the Council becomes clearer, Timothy must decide who to trust. Choosing wrong could cost him everything.
