Peace Has Existed Between Humans and Vampires for Centuries... But
Everything Comes to an End. For hundreds of years, Los Guardianes
de la Paz - the Guardians of Peace - have enforced an uneasy truce
between humans and vampires. When vampires kill two Mexicans on the
Rio Grande, everything changes. The vampires must now find a new
place to live - and a reliable, clean food supply. Meanwhile,
former DEA agent Robert Mackie is on a simple - but dangerous -
mission: ferret out the turncoat who had blown his cover as a
dedicated employee of a notorious East Coast drug lord. Through a
twist of fate, however, his quest for justice ends up putting his
niece and nephew in grave danger. Suddenly, the children are thrown
into the mix of an enormous vampire family in the higher reaches of
the Guadalupe Mountains in West Texas. One of the children there,
13-year-old Greg Pike, is about to find himself the star attraction
in the vampires' version of a fox hunt - unless he can escape
first. Now Carlos Santiago, the eldest of the Guardians, must find
the help he needs to put an end to the violence and set things
right with the world again. But nothing is as it seems, and death
lurks around every corner. Combining elements of the thriller,
mystery, and the occult, Guardians is a fast-paced and thoughtful
look at a collision of cultures both human and otherwise.
