SERIOUSLY 🤩 you kill it every time ahhhhh!!! It’s breathtaking 🤩🤩🤩

Low flying in of a forest, an old castle by the shore with clouds, a mysterious tunnel in a river, a black girl camouflaged in the forest, a close up of tribal marks and a tribal necklace on a black person, more modern building in a forest, a row of canoes in a river, more of the modern building with ancient railing and staircase in front of it.

THE KEEPERS is a #literaryfantasy

Magic is abnormal, and so taboo, in a matriarchal world

After losing everything, Aleris accepts her magic—then changes fate itself

But when a queen feels threatened, she's ready to declare war on witchkind
and burn them all

Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas.

A moodboard for Camp Fearless, showing a blonde and brunette teenage boy looking away from the camera. Other images include: two pairs of legs dangling off a dock, a still, greyish lake, a depressing looking cafeteria lunch on a tray, white hands raised in worship before a blue sky, a campfire, an outdoor chapel made of rugged wood, and a picture of three white teenagers in plain t-shirts with shaved heads. At the bottom is a graphic of a contract with the signatures “Luke Kelly” in messy handwriting and “David Jacobs” in neat handwriting.

CAMP FEARLESS is where queer boys go to become happy, healthy, and heterosexual. But when camper David Avery meets “ex-gay” counselor Luke Kelly, their infatuation with one another forces them to choose between freedom and survival.
