The Keeper: A Brilliant Darkness Story (Brilliant Darkness #1.5)

Peree knows what he’s doing as the new Keeper of the Water Bearer, Fennel.

He knows Fennel’s Sightless. He knows that means the Scourge can’t hurt her when she gathers fresh water for her people. He knows how to wield his bow and arrow to kill piles of the revolting flesh-eaters as they swarm around her. He’ll motivate her, distract her, do anything he can to keep her working. And most important, he'll make sure his people get every drop of their share of the water she collects. Peree knows his duty is to his people and his people alone, and not to the Water Bearer.

What he doesn’t know is that he's falling in love with her.

THE KEEPER is a 45-page long companion story to THE SCOURGE, Book 1 of the Brilliant Darkness series. It is a retelling of the first few chapters of THE SCOURGE from Peree's point of view. Also included is a sneak peek of Chapter One of Book 2 of the Brilliant Darkness series - coming summer 2013!
