Spoiler alert – This is Book III of The Light-Bearer Series by Emily Guido
She remembered………
Tabbruis had been taken from her, but she was being given an opportunity to save him from Hell.
She heard, “Accendo Charmeine….. You will set in motion your destiny when you cross the gates of Heaven” . “Accendo Charmeine.”
Charmeine and Tabbruis assembled everyone in the Grand Hall. It was decided, they would go to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece to put an end to the Elder Council. Charmeine and Tabbruis would lead them into battle.
Charmeine had been warned about the dangers and she told them everything. Tabbruis argued with her, when she told him her plan.
Her heart broke. She knew he had no trust or respect for her plan of attack. He had lied to her, betrayed her trust. Tabbruis had failed her. She was his gift from God, how could he not believe? She felt she would have to leave her family and friends in order to save them.
As Tabbuis watched her ring drop, his heartbeat slowed. He was terrified, as he looked around, stunned that she had left.
He followed her, but Charmeine knew it was wrong. Wrong to let him convince her to follow him into battle. Even in her sorrow, she fought, and her vision was fulfilled. Not everyone returned to Romania alive and the Elder Council still lived.
It took losing her to make Tabbruis see, that she was the strong one – her- not him. He realized how wrong he had been, not to have faith in her. How wrong, not to believe in God and God’s plan.
Now, what would become of them?
4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
The story strikes at your soul. Telling of love, faith, loyalty, trust, betrayal and the ultimate sacrifice one makes to save those you love. Emily’s writing is simple and direct. It speaks to my heart. I laugh as I’m writing that. I’m turning into an old softie. That is SO not who I am. LOL
This is a novel about religion, but not like any religious novel you have read before. Emily Guido’s approach to God, Hell, Heaven, Angels, Vampires, Judgment day…..is so unique it sets her books apart from the rest. Everyone starts out as an Angel, it is the choices you make that change you from innocent and good, to evil and everything in between.
Do you believe we are born good or evil? Do you think it is our environment that makes us choose one over the other? Is it our love for family and friends that helps us make the right choices in life? Or do we occasionally become lost through no fault of our own?
The books get my mind working. Isn’t that what a book is supposed to do? Leave your mind running long after you have closed the cover? Each book is better than the last.
I have fallen in love with the characters and their plight. In their deepest sorrow, my heart mourns for them. In their happiness, my heart soars. At the end of each book, I am saddened by the need to wait for the next one. I want to know right now what is going to happen. This will be a series I will reread when I have all the books in hand. ^_^
I received this book from Emily Guido. She has not asked for a review, but I happily give it.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emily Guido is a Young Adult, Paranormal Romance Author. She was inspired to start writing Charmeine because one day she got an idea of two characters that needed to have their story told.Not ever dreaming a week later she would have over a 100,000 words written. When she writes, it is similar to you or I watching a movie. She pictures the characters in her head going through vivid descriptions. There are so many nuances going through her mind that she can’t type fast enough. The novels “Mactus” “Accendo” “Seditious” and “Ransom” are the continuation of the wonderful adventures of the inhabitants of The Castle Charmeine. Emily is currently writing Conundrum, the sixth novel in the Light Bearer Series. She is also working at a college full time and pursuing her Master of Business Administration.
The Light Bearer Series are a young adult, sultry, paranormal romance, vampire, angels, action and adventure, and historical novels.

These books look really good! My sister-in-law immediately comes to mind as someone who ‘never met a stranger.’ She sparked up conversations with everyone she met in stores, etc. I was always impressed by her friendliness. However, she was also taken too soon and we all miss her.
I am sorry for your loss. My girlfriend was also taken from us too soon. I hope you have a great Fourth!

I love to share, give, laugh and love! I want to help everyone if I can. I have no motive in doing so but giving out good Karma. Yes my friend, Sherry, I am truly beginning to believe that you were a softie all the time. LOL! Happy 4th and GOOD LUCK to EVERYONE!!! Lots of love, Emily
You are one of the special ones Emily, just like my girlfriend was. You remind me of her in your selfless sharing. I hope you have a fantastic Fourth and wishing you much success in your upcoming release of Seditious!
I panicked when I looked at my review after posting. It was the older draft version. I had to rush in to re-edit much of it! Now I am happier with it. Your review is spectacular. Emily is right. You are a softie!
LOL. We are not perfect, so a mistake now and then makes us OKAY. lol
Hey, I thought you were going to take sailboat pics and go to the ballgame?
We went to shoot one of the Sea Sheherd boats from the Whale shows. It was supposed to leave today, so we ran down there before the game to be sure we got it. Now, on to the ballgame.
Terrific review and Happy Fourth of July. I have a daughter that never met a stranger. She becomes instant friends with people she meets. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
It is really something special. It always amazes me to watch it happen. They seem to do it so naturally. ^_^ Happy Fourth.
I have read the first 3 books in this series and love them! Like you said they do keep your mind working after you close the book. I found myself so wrapped up in their lives, I felt a part of them. It looks like I have some reading to do as I need to read 4 & 5. Great review – make me excited again.
Fantastic. I am always happy to hear from someone who can get so involved, as I do. I have to get all over it too. I am happy to contribute to your reading pleasure. lol
I am lucky enough to have several friends that fall into that category. I grew up in a small, close nit town. My Daddy is the stand out among stand outs though. He is a wonderful man and excellent role model.
