The Harp and the Ravenvine is the second book in the Keepers series.
Summary[]
In the world of the Keepers, it's best not to speak of the impossible. Horace F. Andrews, Keeper of the Box of Promises, knows that nothing is impossible. After all, he has the ability to see into the future, and his friend Chloe can walk through walls. But before either of them can master their Tan'ji- their talismans of power- a new threat looms over all Keepers, and they must prepare to battle their eternal enemies: the Riven.
Far away, drawn by an irresistible summons, a mysterious girl is making her way to the Warren, the Keeper stronghold. She wears the Ravenvine and is learning to wield its fascinating power. But this Tan'ji is damaged, and there's no telling what will happen to the instrument or its Keeper if it cannot be made whole again. April's journey is long and dangerous, with strange new companions at her side and a pack of sinister hunters tracking her. Will she reach the Warren in time, and is it a safe haven, or will it offer only more danger?
This powerful sequel to The Box and the Dragonfly expands the extraordinary world of the Keepers, where three words rule: Curiosity. Discovery. Possibility.
Back Blurb[]
Horace wandered away from the podium, determined to wait. He wasn't about to risk leaving anyway, not with the thin man outside. He examined the bins he'd glimpsed yesterday. But the bins had been rearranged. Many of them were new.
Odd-shaped
Ship-shaped
Shape-shaped
Implausible
Palpable
Often Lost
Never Found
Tourmindae
That last one was extra mysterious. Horace was just about to reach out for it when once again a strange voice- a man's voice this time- stopped him short: "One moment, if you will."
