The Last Keeper (The Warminster Series, #1)
By: J.V. Hilliard
My Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍
The Last Keeper brings together three separate groups of people, who have never met before, to better understand the odd occurrences that they each have experienced. Their conjoined paths are bringing them together to join in the same fight, the fight against fallen Keeper, Graytorris the Mad.
Daemus Alaric is a low keeper who for his whole life has experienced intensely amazing and insightful visions. Born blind at birth, Daemus has been keeping his most recent visions private; this gets him expelled from the Keepers.
Sir Ritter Valkeneer is trollborn, meaning he is half human and half elven. One of the powers he inherited from his elven side of the family is the abililty to interact with his falcon, Storm. He can see through Storm's eyes, hear through his ears, and command the bird to watch, fly, or attack. Ritter is proud of his dual heritage and refuses to be ashamed of who he is.
Elven Princess, Addilyn Elspeth, is the daughter to an Ambassador. Her and her entourage are traveling to meet with her father. While on the road, she encounters a herd of Tetrine, a creature that resembles a black unicorn. For Addilyn, this sighting portends bad things to come.
Daemus, Ritter, and Addilyn's travels bring them all together to a place called Castleshire. In each of their separate journeys they encountered and overcame incredible battles, both mental and physical. For Addilyn, the battle was personal. Her people are opposed to the upper echelon of society interacting with anyone trollborn. Addilyn discovers that she must look past the traditions and prejudices of her people to hold onto a true friendship that has been developing between herself and Ritter.
The Last Keeper is an amazingly well told and dramatic story. The battles scenes were engaging. The characters were endearing. I was so excited that I couldn't read fast enough through each chapter of the book to find out what was going to happen next. I am eagerly anticipating what will happen next with Ritter, Daemus, Addilyn and their friends.
