**Award Winner - International Readers’ Favorites **

An evil experiment. A plan to control humankind. Can a young defender end a horrific reign before the earth’s population is eternally ensnared?

Jason Lex just saved the world. Now he’s immersed in training as a new Rampart Guard to protect the shield that enables humans and cryptids like Skyfish, Bigfoot, and the Black Shuck to live side by side and danger-free. A summons from the League of Governors, the clandestine organization that presides over the human-cryptid treaty, takes a suspicious turn when Jason’s dad and sister disappear on their way to League headquarters. Jason must find them before things go bad, so he follows their trail to London where he discovers the League of Governors may not be the benevolent organization everyone believes.

Injured and alone, Jason doesn’t know whom to trust. After a shocking loss sends him reeling, news about his family forces Jason to make a terrible choice. When he learns of a secret plan to enslave the world, Jason must risk his life to defeat a powerful enemy and reunite what’s left of his family. But can he stop a dominating adversary and again save the world before it’s too late?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An engaging, exciting adventure. From cover to cover, Wendy Barnhart's The League of Governors is a thoroughly entertaining, satisfying read. Those who enjoyed The Rampart Guards will not be disappointed, and for those whom this is your first Wendy Barnhart novel, it will likely not be your last." - The Colorado Book Review

"In the second book of her YA paranormal fantasy series, Barnhart (The Rampart Guards, 2016) pits her 14-year-old hero against the insidious forces of authoritarianism...Jason carries the dual burdens of feeling powerless and responsible, and his struggle is the perfect metaphor for teenage isolation...The book's creepy setting and end-of-chapter hooks will entice many YA readers...A strong continuation of a teen fantasy series that doesn't shy away from life's darker side." - Kirkus Reviews

"Secrets and subterfuge lie at the center of The League of Governors, the fast-paced, imaginative second installment in Wendy Barnhart's Adventures of Jason Lex series...This is a strong story of self-discovery for Jason, the young, powerful protagonist...The League of Governors is an appealing, authentic coming-of-age story about understanding and embracing the blessings and the baggage of one's inheritance." - Foreword Clarion review

I really enjoyed the 2nd book in the series and can’t wait to read Sadie’s storyline for the “other” 2nd book. Like the first book, I was hooked right away and this one made for another fast read. This is becoming one of my favorite series!

Chronicle Two has Jason Lex and Uncle Alexander following Jason's Dad and sister Della to London, where the League of Governors are headquartered. What Jason encounters is a topsy turvy London, a maniacal cult-like "League" and underlying evil. There are surprising revelations about some important characters and dark, frightening plot twists as Jason summons his powers and special magic to defeat a terrifying enemy!

Another great entry into the chronicles of Jason Lex and the world of the League and cryptids. Fun and conspiracy while dealing with self confidence, love and family. Struggles of growing up. This series is a great one for young adults! A book kids and parents could read together. Can't wait for the next chronicle.

4.0 out of 5 stars I’m glad I did
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018
I wrote a review long ago, but for some reason it did not post. So here goes again....I am sure there are things I’m forgetting to include this time. Audible gives a fairly decent synopsis as do a few other reviewer’s so I will not expand on that.
I never read/ listened to Book 1: The Rampart Guards. There are some things I need expanded upon and gaps filled by reading the first book, yet I did not have a problem understanding this story. It is a parallel story to Book 3: The Clan Calling.

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and was wondering if I should listen to another because I found Jason irritating and his constant back and forth between loyalties and actions frustrating. However, I next listened to Book 3: The Clan Calling. I’m glad I did. Jason was put in a tough situation, but he kept allowing everyone to sway him. When speaking to one group of people he’d believe them and do as they recommended, then when he spoke to someone else he’d believe the first were lying and believe the second and do as they recommended. It also took way too long for him to figure out what was going on with his Uncle. I felt like yelling at the book and telling him to “smarten up and pay attention”. Listening to Book 3 made me realize it was not so much poor writing as a character that was written with flaws. I’m now more interested in listening to Book 1.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator (Brian Callanan) and I would listen to another. He did a pretty good job giving each character an individual voice. His pacing was good although I preferred to listen on 1.25 speed.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.
