Heart of Stone: Gargoyles Series, Book 1 Description
Ella Harrow is trying to carve out a normal life for herself. Well, as normal as an art geek with psychic abilities can hope for. As museum docent and gift shop manager, Ella is able to keep her distance from people - and her powers in check - while surrounding herself with the artifacts she loves. But how on earth is she supposed to act normal when a thousand-year-old statue on the museum's terrace suddenly comes to life? Not your ordinary gargoyle, Kees has been asleep for eons, waiting for a portent of evil to wake him from his slumber. Kees isn't a vision; he's a bat-winged guardian created to protect the world from the seven demons of the Dark. Somehow, Ella triggered his reawakening. Maybe the demons have been unleashed? Maybe his heart is finally ready to be chiseled open? The fate of the world isn't carved in stone...yet.

I am a huge fan of this author and have all the available books in her Others series which features werewolves, vampires ,fae and even demons so was extremely interested in this, the first of her new series that features gargoyles. This book introduces the reader to Ella a young independent woman who works in her local museum but Ella is no ordinary young woman as she has serious abilities that she tries to keep hidden. Believing herself psychic in some way she has learned that distancing herself is the safest thing to do. Having angered a patron of the museum Ella is trying to calm herself down when a stranger suddenly appears! Knowing that she's the last one there Ella starts to panic but the most amazing thing happens, the statue of a gargoyle comes to life and protects her!
Kees is no ordinary gargoyle. Not really made of stone but made of flesh and magic he is a guardian sent thousands of years ago to protect mankind from forces of evil and in particular the seven demons who command a group of dark hunters known as the Nocturnis .He has slept until now as he should only awaken when called and yet for some strange reason Ella's distress called to him. Fearing that the Nocturnis are close and have nefarious plans afoot Kees realises that Ella is special and convinces her that she possesses true magic. Magic that can be harnessed and used for good. Kees needs to find out just what has happened to his fellow guardians whilst he slept and more importantly he needs to protect Ella from those who would drain her magic and life force. Unfortunately events are transpiring to test Ella's resolve as she learns that everything she believed in may not be true. Gargoyles and magic exist, so too do demons but what happens if the demons try to take charge?
