Publisher's Summary

The tale of how an orphaned thief escaped the slums, united a nation, and brought a mighty empire to its knees.

The truth is neither plain nor simple. Sable, a reluctant thief from the slums, can feel truth when people speak. For years she’s been using that skill to try to break free from the vicious gang boss to whom she's indebted.

Escape comes in the form of an odd set of companions: a dwarf running from the past, an actor with a magical, glowing tree, a too-helpful kobold, a playwright with a knack for getting stories out of people, and a man and woman with suspicious, magical powers.

But Sable’s freedom is short lived. On the edges of civilization, they discover hidden, terrifying lies in the offers of peace from the brutal Kalesh Empire. Now, she must return to the city she fled, and along with her companions, attempt an impossible task: convince everyone, including the powerful Dragon Prioress, of the truth.

Except the Kalesh web of lies has ensnared everyone.

With her land, her people, and everything she loves hanging in the balance, Sable is the only one standing between freedom and certain death.

The Keeper Origins trilogy and the Keeper Chronicles trilogy can be listened to in any order. They take place in the same world but are stand-alone books.

great start to a series

this was a great start to a series. it is an interesting story however I found it a little challenging to get on board with the MC she makes all these decisions for people but doesn't tell them why. they get upset with her and she just wants them to understand he actions but still doesn't tell them....like wtf...other than that the story was a little slow but that's common for first books so not a big deal. I am looking forward to the next book

All around ok

The plot seems to putter around. Each chapter flows well, but the main story seems to move very slowly, and as a sum, each chapter doesn't add much to the overall plot. The ending was sort of meh... I was hoping for something huge, that ahhhhaaaa moment. But it didn't really materialize.

It almost feels like the entire book was just character building and setting up for another book, which is interesting since they are supposed to be stand alone books.

The MC is a little hard to believe. She is often motivated by her need to save her sister, but never seems to explain to her sister why she is acting in her best interest. The MC keeps telling her sister get away from the gang boss, but fails to really tell her why that is important or the consequences. A little frustrating.

I will probably get the next book, but I am not exactly excited in the way I have been about other series. Out of 20 books I have listened to, this would be at the bottom. Worth a credit, but only just.

Last note, the narrator was good, no complaints, but not my favorite.
