The Keepers
Sanverra lies at the heart of the Cardinal Lands, dynamic realms ruled by lines of great queens. While magic is very real, witchery is challenged, for witches bow to no queen, they hold loyalty to no crown. The queens may accept advice or healing from their local Covens of the Grounded, but they and their subjects are well aware witches do not offer their services without a price.
Aleris, adopted into the ambitious Orcharder family as a second daughter, is raised to hide the magic she was born with—until she no longer can. When she finally embraces her own witchery, she changes more fates than her own.
Queen Daphne of Sanverra’s word on any matter is final—until she is nearly silenced forever. When she lives through her own death, she begins to understand how much she doesn’t know about the witches of her world.
Greater than any Coven of the Grounded, though, is the otherworldly Coven of the Keepers, whose magic turns the very Wheel of the Year. These witches take sacrificed moments from the world to do so, adhering to only one truth:
The Wheel must turn.
