Long ago, the 3 magics of the world came together to bring balance to the universe. Europe brought a staff carved from the Tree of Life. Asia brought a jade orb, imbued with magical power. Africa brought a gold bowl, decorated to look like the wings of magical birds, one wing to represent each magic: a crane for Asia, a hawk for Africa, and a raven for Europe. This brought balance to the magics and all was well for a long time. Until it was broken…
Wren Byrne is a good Arsa soldier: she follows orders and doesn’t ask too many questions. She fights diligently to help her clan fix the magical imbalance of the world.
Lily Zuo is a dedicated zheng warrior who is trying to balance her family and magical life. She works hard to ensure the best life for all those around her as the world of magic deteriorates around her.
During an interrogation, Zuo feeds her a fairytale that makes too much sense to ignore. Torn between truth and loyalty, the pair will escape from the Arsa base and embark on an epic journey across the world, searching for the pieces of an ancient magical artifact.
Will they be able to reunite the pieces of the Unity Staff in time to save the world of magic?

When Wren Byrne entered the interrogation room with her partner, she never expected to be teaming up with her detainee, Lily Zuo, to save the world of magic. With Absalom Peres and Ricky Lee by their sides, the pair was able to collect the pieces of the ancient relic known as Statera, a magical staff that represented and balanced the known magics of the world.
Now, the Guardians of Statera have a new mission: expand the number of magical pieces and reassemble the staff. They are joined by Karina Hasanov and her protector, Javier Moreno, in the quest to balance the power of the universe once again.
However, as they cross the globe once more, collecting new pieces to increase the power of the staff, Galiena Lear, a leader of Arsa, is hot on their heels. She longs to claim the power of Statera for herself and dominate the magical world in the process.
Will the Guardians of Statera be able to reassemble the staff and stop Galiena’s evil plan?

Four months, seventeen days.
Wren had been too distracted to count the exact hours since Lily’s capture, but she could probably ask Ricky for specifics if necessary.
When the Guardians of Statera arrived in Turkey, their only thoughts were of reassembling Statera—the ancient staff representing the unity of magic—and restoring balance to the world of magic. They had traveled the world collecting the pieces and rituals to complete the task. They didn’t expect to emerge from the spell to the chaos of an Arsa siege. In an effort to save her friends, Lily Zuo made the decision to flee with Statera, resulting in her capture by the enemy forces.
Months passed and every effort made to rescue Lily from Arsa have resulted in failure. Wren Byrne and Ricky Lee, alongside Absalom Peres, Karina Hasanov, and Javier Moreno, will race across the country to try and find her. Balancing the search for Lily with the building of alliances has the team struggling to stay one step ahead.
With Statera in the hands of Arsa, the Guardians and their protectors will be faced with their most dangerous challenge. Beside their allies, they must stand their ground in a final battle against Galiena Lear and her forces.
