 | The Safe-Keeper's Secret: When people have secrets that they need kept, they tell the Safe-keeper to keep them safe. Fiona and her foster brother Reed are raised by a Safe-keeper, and Fiona hopes to someday become Safe-keeper herself. One day she learns a secret that could change her life and the lives of those she cares about, and she holds on to this secret waiting for it to be revealed at its proper time. This story is short and sweet, a simple plot in an intricately designed world, with subtle twists and a few things readers may not expect. I can't say much about the story without giving everything away, but I will say this is a delightful read for those interested in discovering a new world with lovable characters and a handful of ideas to ponder. |
 | The Truth-Teller's Tale: This novel centers around mirror twins Eleda (a Truth-Teller) and Adele (a Safe-Keeper), opposites in every way and the best of friends. Sometimes the villagers get them mixed up, not getting exactly what they bargained for, to say the least. Again, there is not much I can say about the story without giving away the entire plot. I recommend it if you like stories with practical uses of magic, friendships, personal growth, and a touch of romance. |
