City of Starlight

In a once revered, moon-kissed city of starlight, a dangerous power slowly awakens... Gemstones, a dagger, a map, and a...cat?

When her aunt dies, she leaves Kaidyn an old trunk of bizarre contents and a gray cat named Silas. When Kaidyn accidentally opens a portal, it throws Kaidyn into a country divided by a massive wall and overwhelmed with ancient magic.

Thrust between two royal houses claiming rights to the throne, she struggles with determining who or what to believe. One thing soon becomes clear: she is the next Keeper of the Keys, an ancient line of human women tasked with balancing the wild magic and serving the true monarch of Evirness.

Kaidyn must overcome the self-doubt that plagues her from a birth deformity with the help of a formidable guard captain and unlikely friends because she is the only one who can bring down the wall and stop the gateways from wreaking havoc. Will she fulfill her ancestral duties or will she leave the beautiful land of Evirness to ruination just as her aunt had done?

Romantic and gripping, Keeper of the Keys will transport fans of upper-YA fantasy into a fascinating world filled with tension, bravery, self-discovery, and adventure. Please note that the main character ages throughout the series, so the maturity of the books in the trilogy bridges the gap between YA and NA.
