Guardians of the Keep
by Carol Berg

Description:
Seri has one errand to do as she waits for her beloved Prince of Avonar to regain his memory - to relay her brother’s dying words to his son. But something is clearly wrong with the ten-year-old. Secretive, isolated, angry, the boy shows an inordinate terror of Seri's past connections with sorcery. Though determined not to care for a child whose life she resents, she finds herself intrigued. And when an old nemesis arrives at Comigor Keep. . . the world falls apart. A child with secrets, a sorcerer with a broken mind, a woman armed only with courage and wit, and an illiterate boy who knows everything of honor. . . all ensnared by the Lords of Zhev'Na in their plot to destroy D'Arnath's Bridge and plunge two worlds into chaos.
