Kinlea Keeper

Kinlea Waltham has spent his entire life being told he's dying. He's never left his house or made a single friend. Everything changes when his parents send him to stay with family friends in the country (to “die in cleaner air”), and his hosts tell him that he is not actually ill. Instead, he discovers that he has been cursed with a powerful enchantment.

Born to be the Keeper of Haneth’s End, a small but pivotal corner of the world’s magical realm, he must stand up to enemies he can't understand in order to protect everything he loves. His enemies want something besides Kinlea's death, but he's not sure what. Their perplexing actions endanger his Keep, the world, and even magic itself. It's his job to stop them, for without Kinlea to stand in the way, everything might fold in upon itself, and the world might have to learn the true meaning of the words “the end.”
