Protection of Beauty: A New Adult Contemporary Fantasy - Paperback

by Katarina Kyde (Author)

A literary fantasy thriller with heart, Protection of Beauty is for lovers of captivating storylines and character-driven narratives alike and is perfect for fans of contemporary fantasy novels like The Book of Doors and The Invisible life of Addie Larue.

The laws of physics keep breaking when twenty-four-year-old Anise Viston wears the vintage necklace she received as a gift. But others want it too. Enough to kill for. While running for her life, Anise discovers that the necklace is an amulet that belongs to a set with earrings and a ring called the Armor Jewelry. According to legend, it was used by ancient warriors to give them superhuman powers to conquer in battle. The only way for Anise to survive is to become more powerful than her pursuers which means finding the other pieces of jewelry first-but that would entail beating a matriarch-led alliance of professional criminals at their own game. Armed with her protective amulet, Anise must brace herself for a supernatural fight that can only end one of two ways: win or die.

Protection of Beauty is the first book in The Armor Series, a contemporary fantasy trilogy. This series follows a young woman's journey of self-discovery as she battles anxiety and learns the secrets of life that magical objects were created to protect. Written in multiple POV from both heroes and morally gray villains, this series has plenty of action, a unique magical system, and genuine romantic subplots.

Please note that while the main plot is resolved, this book is part of an ongoing series where some story arcs are not complete until the last book in the series. This book has a to-be-continued ending that sets up the next book in the series.
