Book: The Safe-Keeper's Secret Author: Sharon Shinn 240 Pages Short Thoughts: Wonderful young adult fantasy, and my first "read in a day" book in a long time. |
Damiana is Safe-Keeper in the small village of Tambleham. Neighbors and strangers alike come one by one, in secret, to tell her things, knowing that Damiana will keep them to herself. One night, a mysterious visitor arrives with an unusual secret— a newborn baby. Damiana names him Reed and raises him side by side with her baby daughter, Fiona. As the years pass and the two children come of age, they must come to terms with who they are—and who they may be.
