Sentinels of Apollo Series by Ciara St James

Abraxas serves his community as a county sheriff and protector. Everyone knows him in the small town of Needles, California. For him, being a protector isn’t anything new. He’s been one for centuries. Something the good people of Needles are unaware of. He has a fulfilling job and a group of great friends who know him, and he knows them. He should be happy, but he and his friends hide a secret, and all lack a critical thing—a mate... moreAbraxas serves his community as a county sheriff and protector. Everyone knows him in the small town of Needles, California. For him, being a protector isn’t anything new. He’s been one for centuries. Something the good people of Needles are unaware of. He has a fulfilling job and a group of great friends who know him, and he knows them. He should be happy, but he and his friends hide a secret, and all lack a critical thing—a mate. And in their world, it’s almost impossible to find a mate, especially when their various species are dying off. It’s an unrealistic dream. Cerys is a nurse who moves to Needles to be closer to her grandmother, Twyla, and escape Las Vegas and her parents. She notices the handsome, stoic sheriff, but she’s unable to flirt or talk to him like she can other men. Her excuse is she wouldn’t be his type anyway. After months of hidden longing for them both, they finally reveal their feelings. Only Abraxas is hiding his biggest secret. He wants Cerys desperately, but if he commits to her, there goes his chance of having a fated mate and children. Cerys is human, and they can’t bear shifter offspring. After misunderstandings, revelations, meetings with Oracles, and more, they’re on their way to a life together. Abraxas chooses Cerys as the one he loves and will have no matter what he has to give up. Only there’s more than fate involved. A hidden enemy is revealed and threatens all shifters and the Sentinels of Apollo, the protectors of shifters of which Abraxas, his friends, and others are a part. Cerys and Abraxas will battle ancient enemies, Oracles, and even a god if they have to in order to be together. But even they have no idea what will be revealed. Abraxas’s Kismet is set to change the shifter world forever. less

A bear shifter with a mate is an extremely dangerous opponent. Beware. Fennick’s job led him to a chance meeting with a group of shifters in Joshua Tree National Park, his assigned area for patrolling as a park ranger... moreA bear shifter with a mate is an extremely dangerous opponent. Beware. Fennick’s job led him to a chance meeting with a group of shifters in Joshua Tree National Park, his assigned area for patrolling as a park ranger. Since the revelation that an ancient enemy was out to make all shifter and supernatural beings extinct, Fennick and his fellow Sentinels of Apollo have been working to ensure that all their kind are aware and taking precautions, such as banding together in areas where they can help defend one another. The sad truth is there are not enough Sentinels to protect everyone, and with the Oracles no longer trusted or doing their job, Fennick and those like him have to work double time. When he calls in his fellow Sentinels to help him approach this rather large group and explain the danger they’re in, he never imagines that his bear, Ripper, would react to one woman in the group. Ripper is adamant that Akiva is their mate. However, it seems one of the men with her is claiming her for himself. A reluctant Akiva goes with the band she’s traveling with to Needles with the Sentinels, but she slips away during the night. Fennick isn’t allowing her to run, even if she is an expert at covering her scent. When Fennick catches up to Akiva, he finds out more than he was prepared for about her past, why she’s hiding within the group, and more. For Fennick, this only stirs him and his bear to want to protect and claim her even more. But there’s more than one person who doesn’t want that. And they’re determined to keep Fennick and Akiva apart, even if it means taking lives. And that doesn’t include their mortal enemies, whom they know are lurking in the shadows but haven’t yet shown their faces. Fennick is counting his blessings and his good fortune in capturing Akiva’s heart. And their enemies better beware. The world continues to change as more sentinels find their mates and battle the Knights of Pytho, while Apollo openly mixes with his creations and plays, well, God. Supernatural beings, shifters, destined mates, ancient fanatical enemies, and a Greek god spell chaos. less

Two shifters brought together by fate, circumstance, or the God Apollo. Keir goes to Phoenix on an assignment with his fellow Sentinels. Someone is allegedly targeting supernaturals and shifters. Threats have been made. Physical altercations, robberies, and even disappearances are whispered about. It’s the Sentinels’ job to determine if there’s truth behind it. If there is, then they’ll eliminate the ones responsible. It’s more than a day or two worth of work... moreTwo shifters brought together by fate, circumstance, or the God Apollo. Keir goes to Phoenix on an assignment with his fellow Sentinels. Someone is allegedly targeting supernaturals and shifters. Threats have been made. Physical altercations, robberies, and even disappearances are whispered about. It’s the Sentinels’ job to determine if there’s truth behind it. If there is, then they’ll eliminate the ones responsible. It’s more than a day or two worth of work. Two Sentinels agree to remain in Phoenix to continue the investigation. Keir volunteers to be one for the sole reason that the family who brought them there are leopards like Keir. And one of those leopards is a female, Fiona. Keir hopes that she might be a potential mate for him. However, when he meets Fiona, she’s less than open to having him around. Fiona has worked to support her great-granddad, younger brother, and herself for years. She does it as a forensic analyst for the Phoenix Police Department. With potential enemies watching them, Keri refuses to let her even drive herself to and from work. Fiona hates the restriction. As these two try to navigate a path to where they can be together, and if Keir has his way, it’ll be as mates, not mere lovers, there are others involved trying to keep them apart, and causing strife. Drama at Fiona’s work causes complications she could do without, but in the end, releases her to follow her heart. And the Sentinels finally determine who is the one behind targeting their kind. And when they do, they see that even though these Sentinels might’ve eliminated one group, it’s only a tiny piece of a much larger picture. Their enemy is dangerous, vast, and recruiting humans. See how this changes the Sentinels' tactics and futures as they continue to fight an evil that is coming for all of them. The enemy’s end goal is to eradicate all shifters and supernaturals from the face of the earth. But these men and their mates have something to say about that, and will fight to the bitter end to stop it. Destinies will be fulfilled in ways they never hoped possible. less
