In Amethyst, Lexi aka Alex aka Alexandria learns the skills of being a healer.  She also experiences the joys and anguish that comes from joining the Guardians.  There are few gifted individuals that are both an Amethyst (healer) and a Guardian (protector/warrior).  In Linked, the plot thickens and the story builds.Lexi does not tell the Guardians nor the few other Amethysts that she believes she has been gifted with both talents.  Having the ability to heal, she has been told that she can not join in the activities of protecting the Innocents (normal humans) because her talent for healing is too precious.  Most of the Guardians do not know she also has premonitions of what will happen in the future.She is sure she is a Dentelle!  There are only a few know cases of a Dentelle and the last one died hundreds of years ago.  There is no written history of what a Dentelle really is, what they are capable of or if they are able to link with a Guardian.  It is believed that trying to link with a partner will kill both the Guardian and the Dentelle.  But Lexi MUST link.  She is a Guardian and can not survive without linking.The Ray-Pacs, from my understanding, are Guardians gone bad.  They crave the Essence that is the very life force of every human, animal and Guardian.  Lexi's gift as an Amethyst is to share her essence to heal humans, Guardians and herself.  Lexi is captured by the leader of the Ray-Pacs who plans to link with her to obtain her essence and make himself king of his pack.  Lexi decides to go after this Ray-Pac that she detests and purposely link with him.  She fully expects this linking to be the death of not only the Ray-Pac but of anybody she tries to link with and herself.  She is more than willing to make the sacrifice to protect, Jason, the Guardian she loves and whom, she totally believes, she can never be with.The surprise starts here and leads you on a heartfelt adventure and a heartbreaking journey between Jason and Lexi.  The end of the books leaves you wanting more.  DO purchase Dentelle.  The story continues in this last book of the series and there is never a dull moment in any of these books.
