Shadow Keeper
From Underhill to Hill Country… exiled fae hoard for protection.
BOUND TO SERVE. LEFT IN THE DARK. WITH DRAGONS THREATENING TO RESTART WAR, WHAT CAN AN IGNORANT BROWNIE DO TO KEEP PEACE?
I thought I could relax once I figured out the loophole in my debilitating genetic condition to serve anyone who asks for delegation. Just call me middle management of human needs.
But when Tylwyth Teg start calling in favors as well, there’s no skirting fae bargains. And it turns out there are a lot more of us hidden in Texas than I knew. If I can maintain our secrecy in this realm, my elf stalker won’t drag me to Underhill or report back to her leaders that the exiled community is a threat.
After a schism among the dragons brings an ancient revolt back into the light, the flames of unrest lick at the peace treaty--with me in the midst of the fire fight. I may have to forgive Rhydian for keeping me ignorant of the truth. Some burning secrets are better left in the shadows.

Major Cliffhanger
Just as Brandon begins to trust Rhythm he uses her as a bargaining piece to win his sister back. Moved by underground creatures to Wales, then by dragons to Underhill she mourns her friendships. Until Ella appears. But the feeling doesn't last long as she soon finds out more about her deafness and the circumstances around her Mother's death.

So fun to dive back into Branwyn's world. This poor girl gets put through the wringer this time, and I don't know how she does it! Rhy definitely has some serious explaining and groveling to do!!
Terrific read, and I can't wait for the next book!!
