Keeper of the Light

Young Adult Fantasy author Keira F. Jacobs delivers a beautifully crafted and richly magical tale, featuring dark forces, god-like beings, and mysterious strangers. Naomi Smyth isn't who she says she is. Alone in the city of Le'Gar, Naomi lives under the false name her father gave her before she fled her childhood home eleven years ago to escape sinister forces. Trusting his command though unsure of the reasons, she continues to hide her identity. Then one night the King sends his Riders to capture anyone bearing the surname of a certain bloodline: Naomi's bloodline. Warned by the enchanted gargoyles who protect the city, she must once again flee. On the run, Naomi finds herself in the presence of three strangers: a self-loathing Magnificent, a golden witch, and a treasonist. Each stranger holds a clue to one of the hidden truths about her bloodline, truths that could end the centuries-old war happening both in her world and the Outer Void, where god-like beings reside. As her world slowly falls into the hands of the very forces she fled as a child, and her people on the verge of becoming slaves to the darkness, Naomi must embrace the power within her. Will she dare to emerge?
