The Guardian — Erin Lee

ONE OF ONLY TEN HUMANS with dragon magic, seventeen-year-old Alvis Witt is forced to hide his identity as a Talisman Wielder when all he wants is to fight alongside the resistance group, Linless. Then Alvis gets his chance to use his secret magic to rescue the dangerous and notorious dragon, Rae Bremmet, from the country's heavily guarded prison. What seems like a simple mission twists into a series of events that leaves Alvis and Rae with a thirst for revenge for everything their corrupt homeland has stolen from them. But Alvis and Rae can only agree on one thing-they fight best when they fight alone . . .The Simon Snow Trilogy meets Hunter x Hunter, The Guardian is an earnest yet light-hearted coming of age fantasy of sacrifice, friendship, annoyance-to-lovers, and what it truly means to trust another with your life.
