Dimension Guardian: The Realm of Beasts - The Guardian Tournament

The Dimension Guardian Series - Book 1 The Dimension Protection Council had been around for nearly four thousand years, but it had never seen a crisis quite of this magnitude. The responsibility of the Dimension Protection Council was to maintain the delicate peace between the five different worlds. While four of the realms had little friction between them, the Demon Realm caused fear in humans even during the most peaceful of times. Now was not one of those times of peace, and the fear in the human-inhabited realms was becoming suffocating. When the council finally discovered the break in the seal that held the dimensions separate, it was too late to repair the damage and drastic measures had to be taken. The Guardians, the mercenaries of the council, were called to action. Despite a horrific massacre that occurred forty years previous, the best course of action decided was to reinstate the Guardian Tournament, which pitted the elite fighting force of the council against one another in brutal battle for sport. Using the tournament as a pretense to find those responsible for breaking the protective seal, the Elders of Council grouped the five strongest and most trust-worthy Guardians in a team to infiltrate and flush out the criminals from inside the tournament. Dalton and his four teammates Eclipse, Mitoki, Hanyi and Keito, tasked with the task of catching the group responsible, soon learn that they are fighting something beyond their comprehension. Centuries old secrets and hidden apparitions bring the strongest Guardians to question their orders, their mission, and their own loyalty as they face an enemy more powerful than they could have ever believed.
