Book info<\/strong>: The Keeper (Watersmeet, book 3) \/ Ellen Jensen Abbott. Skyscape, 2013.\u00a0 [author site<\/a>]\u00a0 [publisher site<\/a>]\u00a0\u00a0 Review copy from the author; cover image courtesy of the publisher.<\/p>\n

My book talk<\/strong>: As evil arises with renewed powers, Abisina strives to unite centaurs, fairies, humans, dwarves, and fauns, despite their mutual distrust.<\/p>\n

Vicious creatures streaming from the newly opened rift in the barrier mountains attack those fleeing Watersmeet and other settlements, but that’s only the beginning. If only the young woman knew what form the Worm would inhabit this time!<\/p>\n

When Abisina requests the fairies’ help in battling the Worm and its marauding army, their queen’s daughters give conflicting reports of her mission, and one claims for herself Abisina’s necklace of power – will the folk of the land be able to overcome the evil forces without it?<\/p>\n

Now, armed only with her faith in love, the shapeshifter and her ragtag band of friends and former opponents make a last stand against the evil trying to blight their world forever.<\/p>\n

The tale begun in Watersmeet<\/em> and The Centaur’s Daughter<\/em> concludes in this finale filled with battles, intrigue and fantastic creatures. (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
