Description

The Keepers is a thrilling tale of adventure and mystery. The story revolves around Goldie, a young girl who escapes the confines of her strict life in the city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime. She stumbles upon the Museum of Dunt, where she discovers a world of magic, danger, and hidden secrets. Goldie, who has always been both impatient and bold, runs away when Separation Day is canceled, risking not only her own life but also the lives of those she has left behind. In the chaos that follows, she is lured to the Museum of Dunt, where she meets the boy Toadspit and discovers terrible secrets. Only the cunning mind of a thief can understand the museum's strange, shifting rooms. Fortunately, Goldie has a talent for thieving, which is just as well, because the leader of the Blessed Guardians has his own plans for the museum—plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a daring thief to stop him.
