The Named by Marianne Curley

The first in the Guardians of Time Trilogy. Ethan develops his powers, but too late to save his sister. He is training to fight the Goddess of evil and leader of the Order, Lathenia. Ethan and 8 others make up the nine, or the named. They will be the ones to fight the Order. Ethan must train Isabelle, who is one of the 9, for their battle. Ethan and Isabelle must go into the past to ensure that King Richard actually becomes the King. In order to accomplish this they must leave their bodies behind while their souls enter the Citadel whilst they are sleeping. Danger strikes, who will make it back? --Shay G., student
