Caldera Keep

by Jessica Draper

A Baron is always gracious, a Fighter always ready … Far from the familiar walls of Spire Keep, Baronet Chervil’s Grand Tour has plunged him into the glittering maelstrom of rivalry, treachery, and loneliness that is the life of the Keeps’ Barons and their alluring, flirtatious Baronesses. In dangerous Hunts in the abandoned halls of Canyon Keep and riskier Gatherings among his Cousins, Chervil must keep his head, his wits, and his sanity—or lose both his honor and his future. Aerean watches his brother/rival’s progress from the sand and iron gates of the Keeps’ Arenas, soon realizing that he has more to fear from the Barons than from the teeth and claws of their vicious Fighters. Baron Cerlain’s favor and Chervil’s sponsorship barely protect him from bloodthirsty plots—while another Baronet captures his heart and the freedom of the sky calls from beyond the Chariots’ wings. But the voices crying from the depths of Caldera Keep have escaped the dead Videna’s dreams and invaded Chervil’s dreams and Aerean’s destiny. Sometimes the only way to save a world is to destroy it.
