Princess Yulana has a few problems. Her late grandfather has died without naming an heir, civil war threatens to tear the Morning Realms apart, a strange waking dreamer sickness is sweeping through the land, and a plague of hungry ghosts roam the steppes. On top of all of that, Kho, her former best friend turned rival, is getting under her skin. A struggle for power divides the north, and the outcome rests on the winner of the Grand Game―a competition that will determine not just the future of her people, but the course of the entire empire.
When the world is out of balance, the Guardians of Dawn are reborn.
As the Guardian of Wind, it is Yuli’s responsibility to bring order to chaos, along with the Guardian of Fire and the Guardian of Wood. But can she restore balance to the Morning Realms when she can’t even win the political games being played at home? The fate of the Morning Realms depends on the Guardians of Dawn, and whether Yuli can manage both the demonic and political chaos at once.

Yuli is book 3 in the Guardians of Dawn series. This time around, there is chaos. People are falling ill, demons are running amok, and the Moth Demon is gaining power. Yuli and the others in the Guardians of Dawn must save the day before it is too late.
I love the relationship the girls have with one another and that they always have each other’s backs. While there is a dash of romance, that is on the backburner and the main focus is saving the day. I recommend this series if you are a fan of YA Fantasy or love Sailor Moon.
