Summary from Goodreads:
Kate Elliott's action-packed The Keeper's Six features a world-hopping, bad-ass, spell-slinging mother who sets out to rescue her kidnapped son from a dragon lord with everything to lose.
There are terrors that dwell in the space between worlds.
It’s been a year since Esther set foot in the Beyond, the alien landscape stretching between worlds, crossing boundaries of space and time. She and her magical travelling party, her Hex, haven’t spoken since the Concilium banned them from the Beyond. But when she wakes in the middle of the night to her son’s cry for help, the members of her Hex are the only ones she can trust to help her bring him back from wherever he has been taken.
Esther will have to risk everything to find him. Undercover and hidden from the Concilium, she and her Hex will be tested by dragon lords, a darkness so dense it can suffocate, and the bones of an old crime come back to haunt her.
Review:
Kate Elliott is the Novella queen!
Fantasy is one hard genre to fit into less than 200 pages and Elliott has done just that, and she's done it well. This was a full story from start to finish with a wonderful pace. I loved how the author played with dragons and keepers and merged them all with a thrilling mystery of the main character, Esther's missing son.
This book was full of all the components I needed for a dopamine high when it was done.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
