The
Thirteenth Guardian
by K.M. Lewis
Genre: YA
Sci-Fi/Apocalyptic Fantasy
Release Date: June
11th 2019
Summary:
Da
Vinci’s secret pales. Michelangelo concealed an explosive truth in his famous
Creation of Man fresco in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Everything we have
been taught about Eve is wrong—she didn’t cause the fall of man. Instead, Eve
carried a far more devastating secret for millennia; one that will change the
world forever.
As the modern-day
world suffers the cataclysmic effects of the “Plagues of Egypt”, Avery
Fitzgerald, a statuesque Astrophysics major at Stanford, discovers that she is
mysteriously bound to five strangers by an extremely rare condition that
foremost medical experts cannot explain. Thrust into extraordinary
circumstances, they race against time to stay alive as they are pursued by an
age-old adversary and the world around them collapses into annihilation.
Under sacred oath,
The Guardians—a far more archaic and enigmatic secret society than the
Freemasons, Templars, and the Priory—protect Avery as she embarks on a daring
quest that only legends of old have been on before. Avery must come to terms
with the shocking realization that the blood of an ancient queen flows through
her veins and that the fate of the world now rests on her shoulders.

My Review:
The world is about to change in a way that is unlike
anything we have seen before. The world is being destroyed by Mother Nature or
is it? The Thirteenth Guardian takes us on a destruction of the earth and everyone
on it. There are earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, floods, and
plagues from beginning to end and from end to beginning.
We get to witness the earth’s destruction through the eyes
of our characters as they are seeing it. The Thirteenth Guardian is told from
each characters point of view and is very easy to follow. We get to follow each
of our characters on their journey as they make their way to their destination or
safe place away from all the disasters. Our six characters have to make it to
their safe place as they are the chosen ones.
The Thirteenth Guardian has a lot of references to the bible
and I loved making those connections from Moses and Noah to plagues and biblical
references to the Vatican to Da Vinci to Michelangelo and it even reminded me
of the Pangaea.
The time and the research that went into the writing of The
Thirteenth Guardian alone is so amazing. The writing in itself is brilliant to
bring all this information together in one story to explain how some of the
things in the bible may have come about or to explain a comet that may be
headed our way as we speak to reference a comet in such a way is brilliant and
amazing which may just open a few eyes.
I can’t give it enough phrases. If I could give it more than
five stars I would on the writing alone not to mention the time and research
that I imagine went into the writing.
Would I recommend The Thirteenth Guardian? You bet I would
to all fans of apocalyptic or the bible after all it is just a fantasy story right?
