Blaise - (The Keepers of Imbria) by J Barrett (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For generations, the Keepers of Imbria have wielded the power of the four elements and kept their world safe, fostering peace and prosperity. They were united in this endeavor until one of the Keepers chose to forge her own path, igniting a spark that could burn their entire world to ash. Orabelle, the Water Keeper and Queen of Lehar, has unwittingly set in motion a chain of events that heralds the return of an ancient evil and begins a struggle for power that turns families against each other and allies into enemies.

The prophecy of the Solvrei was never anything that Blaise believed in. He scoffed at the old legends, preferring to rule with action and consequence rather than mystical stories interpreted to suit the needs of those who coveted power. But now the Keeper of Fire has lost everything that once mattered to him, and he stands at the precipice of a new era, one where the Keepers of Imbria no longer reign unchecked and supreme. All he has left to hold on to in a crumbling world is his promise to protect the life of one young child, a boy whose destiny has been entangled with the prophecy of the Solvrei. Blaise's determination to safeguard the child forces him to come to terms with old adversaries, and to realize that the ancient tales he always laughed at might be the key to saving their future. His journey to find the truth and reclaim what he has lost will lead him to confront new enemies he never expected to face, including those within himself.

"Blaise" is the exciting next installment in The Keepers of Imbria series and the epic adventure continues in this cynical but heartfelt tale told by the man who everyone is determined to hate.
