It was teeming with vamps, and he'd set up several Guardians around the country club to conduct surveillance on the vamps' activities.

He walked until he recognized the Guardians' station, a single story house nestled between two similar houses and marked by a star and an arrow – the White God's symbols – in the corner of one window.

He felt no wards protecting the station and shivered, wondering how many Guardians would be lost between now and when he could find and kill the Magician.

When she's dead, only then will you and the Guardians all get your powers back.

Without their powers your Guardians will be slaughtered by the Black God.

What is her life in exchange for thousands of Guardians and the humans they're protecting?

He rose and paced, dwelling on the carnage that would surely ensue if the Guardians remained vulnerable for long.

His thoughts darkened as he thought of leaving the Guardians defenseless to protect a woman he wasn't sure he should.

The fate of humanity was on his shoulders, with only an innocent woman between him and his ability to help the Guardians.

Something like this won't happen among the Guardians.

I'm surprised you're not interested in a ceasefire with me, since your Guardians are powerless, Jonny said.

I would agree not to slaughter your Guardians and declare a ceasefire for thirty days, if you will agree to help me root out the traitors in my own organization.

Damian understood the delicate balance between Good and Evil, just as he understood the Black God had the power to overturn that balance as long as the Guardians were powerless.

One of my experienced Guardians will join you and help you root out the traitors.

It's what Guardians do.

All the Guardians, like me and Sean, your bartender friend in that pub where we met, lost our magic.

From Guardians, like Sean, who are sworn to protect people like you.

Damian and I spent months in Europe trying to figure out why our Guardians were disappearing here.

My … mate's house is sitting on the bodies of tens of thousands of Guardians.

Armed and ready, Jule Transported himself to the Guardians' local station, where he startled Rourk.

He wasn't sure what he sought, but he'd hoped to find some trace either of the Guardians the Other killed or the Other itself.

She couldn't help thinking about all the Guardians buried around her home and if they'd been as dedicated and noble as those she'd met.

What happens to the Guardians?

She suspected they were buried with the Guardians.

She'd make him proud and protect him and the rest of the Guardians from her father, even if destroying her father took her own life.

The Guardians deserved this after losing so many of them.

Following us here, reporting our movements to other Guardians? her father snapped, approaching her.

For the Gods and Guardians to come.

She sensed her father and the Guardians he went to meet on the other side of the hill.

She would need much more power to counter his, and the Guardians could provide it.

She'd taken power from the Other, from the dead, from the Guardians, and even from the Original Beings, who fed her power in hopes of short-circuiting her.

I've enjoyed my interactions with the Guardians.

Claire lured him away from his Guardians to the warm springs by the—" "Enough!"

He liked that she sought him out, not as the leader of the Guardians, not as the White God, not as the Defender of Mankind.

He and his vamps had fought half the night and created the battlefield full of destruction before the dozen Guardians assigned to the safe house were overwhelmed.

The compound hummed with activity, from the gardens that served as a helipad to the teeming barracks and Guardians pacing the halIs.

His personal Guardians trailed at a respectful distance, out of earshot but close enough if something happened.

You would put me in the Guardians, your own flesh and blood?

Your father would've put you in the Guardians long ago, Jule corrected him.

She speaks highly of the Guardians and just as highly of you.

Two Guardians pushed him out of the way but hesitated, unable to lift a body she'd completely obliterated.

She watched the Guardians gather wood in the eerie light of the bloody sun and start the funeral pyre for her father's body.

Jenn, the only daughter of a low-ranking noble's servant, repeated the mantra of the Guardians for days before taking the sacred oath.

I can create a better life for Talia in the Guardians.

She ran all the way to the Guardians' barracks and stopped, awed.

The barracks was loud with chatter from other new Guardians.

There are many Guardians assigned to this world already.

And then you will go forth and find the other Guardians.

She didn't know how to tell him she had no Guardian training yet and wouldn't even know where to find Guardians in the strange world.

She'd made her choice the moment she took an oath to the Guardians.

You can commandeer any safe house or Guardians or anything you want.

We lost a lot of Guardians to Jonny's predecessor and that psycho son of his.

Whatever game Xander played, it wouldn't benefit the Guardians.

I didn't get to my position as the head of Dusty's intel networks by backing down from assignments that even most male Guardians wouldn't take.

I think positioning Guardians here would get too many of them killed.

The two Guardians assigned to the small adobe house in the middle of a Mexican village stood out front with Jenn.

The two large Hispanic Guardians glanced towards him when he entered the yard marked by a stone fence.

He'd thought the Guardians' loss of magic a curse until he started thinking about how the Others couldn't sense a Guardian that had no magic.

The Watchers blamed him for stripping the Guardians' magic when he froze time, but he began to wonder if they hadn't done it themselves.

Whoever did it, it was working in the Guardians' favor right now.

The two Guardians gave him a curious look.

She'd left them both to pursue a position among the Guardians, so she could start a new life in the mortal world.

Even if her position among the Guardians was among the highest levels, she still considered herself a slave to her duty.

You've done more harm here than anything one of my little Guardians could do to the immortal world.

From a lower immortal noble House, she'd been sent into the Guardians at a young age, a spare child to a House too poor to support her.

In any case, considering I'm the one that broke the balance between good and evil, immortal and mortal, you aren't the one with the fates of the Guardians on your shoulders.

I thought the Guardians were cursed without their magic, but the Others can't track them.

They're going to stop attacking Guardians, too, and they're going to focus on Darian.

Or I'll unleash my vamps on your precious Guardians.

I found out I was eligible to join the Guardians the day before I found out I was pregnant with Talia.

I signed up for the Guardians, and I was getting ready to leave for the mortal world.

She'd never even seen Damian prior to the Schism, when the Guardians exiled to the mortal world were a small band struggling to stay alive.

His vamps started stalking our Guardians this morning, and I lifted the ceasefire mandate.

Also, there was some sort of disturbance reported near the local Guardians' station.

Darian had never seen anything half as beautiful as the pale, exhausted warrior in oversized clothing she must've borrowed from the beefier Guardians who lived at the station.

He didn't turn them into vamps or kill them; he had an agreement with the local Guardians – charged with protecting humans from vampires like him – that he'd let them go.

The text came from the station chief of the local Guardians.

As part of the uneasy truce they had with Xander, they often used him for training for the new Guardians.

Most Guardians listened when their station chief, Gerry, told them the rules about not directly challenging Xander.

Female Guardians were very rare, and he recalled the last he faced with a mixture of respect and anger.

Xander made it clear who taught lessons to the Guardians who failed to respect the boundaries.

Most Guardians freaked out when he spoke to them.

The effect he had on human women was dulled on female Guardians, but she sensed his strange draw nonetheless and stared at him.

He chose to appear far enough away from her that Damian didn't sic his Guardians on him.

He was well aware that Guardians usually took the Naturals they were assigned as girlfriends or wives.

You've gotta tell her about the Gods and Guardians, whether you decide to keep her or not.

We're the Guardians charged with standing between vamps like Xander and humans he preys on, Jule started.

At least he was certain Jessi was safe at home tonight, with Gerry's Guardians there to rid her place of any of Jonny's goons.

I don't even know if I believe all this Guardians and vampires insanity.

These people – Guardians or whatever – feared him.

There were people … Guardians? …wandering the compound and a corral nearby with a horse and donkey in it.

Sometimes I forget what it's like to be involuntarily inducted into the Guardians.

More concerned about the bigger picture, Xander interfered when necessary and spent the rest of this time toying with Jenn and the other Guardians.

If nothing else, he doubted Jessi's home was in trouble, not with all the Guardians nearby.

Damian rents houses wherever they're needed and sets up stipends for Guardians and Naturals to live off of.

The gifting of the necklace was like a proposal, only much more to the Guardians who gave the symbols of their families and histories to their chosen suitors.

We are the kinder, gentler Guardians of humanity, he said, grunting.

Guardians normally are assigned where we need them.

Based on their talents, they'll have options to work with the Guardians, depending on what their skills are.
