Keeper of Reign
Books written in blood. Most are lost, their Keepers with them. A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?
For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema.
Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn't get himself killed first.

Excerpt:
THE WARNING GRANDPA gave had
frightened Jules then, as it did now.
“Jules, the days are coming,”
Grandpa Leroy had said, that bleak day as they sat before the fireplace. “One
day, Gehzurolle will intensify his efforts against us. Beware of that day.”
Picking up his Ancient Book,
Grandpa read, “Suspecting the lives of the now insignificant Fairy Elves will
be restored to the former glories they once enjoyed, the Scorpents and their
leader, Gehzurolle, the Lord of Shadows, will be driven to distraction. After
many failed attempts to annihilate the Race throughout the centuries,
Gehzurolle will scheme to extinguish every inhabitant of the land because
finally a Keeper has invited him into our Kingdom. He will spare no Elfie. Not
even those who work for him.’”
“But which Keeper would do
something like that?”
“One who’s desperate. When you
see the signs, Jules, you must flee. You and everyone in our family.
Immediately!”
“But why, Grandpa?”
“Because it means he’s close to
succeeding. He will seek us Keeper families first because without the Keepers
and our Books our Kingdom cannot survive. I entrust this knowledge to you for
you will take over from your mother as Keeper of the Book, just as she’d taken
over from me.” His grandfather’s gentle blue eyes locked with Jules’s own green
ones.
“But how will I know when this
will happen?”
“The Ancient Book says thieves
will come to steal—so beware. But these are no ordinary burglars, Jules. They
will destroy everything in their path. Whatever happens they mustn’t get our
Book.”
