The Wardens

The Wardens is a fast-paced supernatural fantasy series by Jackie Jones, a Barbadian-British writer and the creator of the Carib speculative fiction genre. Set in a world where dark and ancient creatures lurk just beneath the surface of everyday life, the series follows wardens Erin and Zach, two gifted partners whose job is to hunt rogue supernatural beings and protect ordinary humans from threats they cannot even imagine.

From battling soucouyants in the hills of Kentucky to confronting vicious lycan clans and volatile dhampir teenagers, the duo face a relentless stream of supernatural chaos. But when dangerous secrets about Erin's own mysterious past begin to surface, the trust between her and Zach fractures, and the greatest threat may be the one they cannot fight together. With nefarious forces closing in from every direction, their unbreakable partnership is put to its most dangerous test yet.

What sets The Wardens apart is its richly diverse cast, inventive blend of Caribbean and global folklore, and breathless pacing that makes every episode feel cinematic. Jones brings genuine freshness to the urban fantasy genre by centering characters with real emotional depth and grounding the supernatural in vivid cultural mythology rarely seen in speculative fiction.

The series is designed for readers who love action-driven buddy stories filled with magic, tension, and heart. With its sharp dialogue, layered world-building, and complex supernatural lore, The Wardens is a thrilling read for fans of urban fantasy and YA fiction who are hungry for something gloriously different.
