Guardian

Set in Shannon Mayer's urban fantasy world, this novella follows Rylee Adamson, a Tracker with a rare gift for finding missing children when no one else can. After months of relentless danger, Rylee finally carves out a vacation with her guardian Liam, only to have the respite derailed by the supernatural threats that seem to follow her everywhere. Short in runtime but dense with the series' signature blend of dark magic, sharp wit, and genuine peril, it delivers a focused story that deepens the central relationship at its core.

The full cast recording brings Mayer's ensemble world to life with remarkable texture, eleven narrators voicing a range of characters with distinct personalities and tones. Bradley Smith, Nora Achrati, and their fellow performers shift the listening experience closer to an audio drama than a traditional audiobook, with crisp production that keeps even rapid tonal changes coherent. At just over two hours, the pacing is tight, making it an ideal entry point for new listeners or a satisfying mid-series companion for longtime fans of Rylee's world.
