This Starsun Defiance Prequel sets the tone for the conflict between Haakon and Ahriee. In Starsun Defiance, Midsummer's Eve shifts age-old traditions, as Ahriee escapes Starstone Isle, running from Haakon's pursuit and crossing the forbidden, legendary Bridge. As she reshapes her future, she must heed her great bear's message and embark on a journey of courage and defiance.

Kiss of the Guardian Protector is a short story prequel to Starsun Defiance, book 1 of the Bridge Across Worlds series. On Starstone Isle, Ahriee and Haakon's birthing story is told (alluded to in Starsun Defiance). Both babies are born on Midsummer's Eve with a Honey Moon gracing the sky. The legend of the Kiss of the Guardian Protector, as told by Ahriee's grandmother, Eira, recounts the tale of The Bridge appearing and disappearing over time, and how the Guardian Protector animals veil Starstone Isle, forever locking it in time from the surrounding world.
