Stealing Death

€œI want that soul sack,€ he said suddenly.
€œWhat?€ the witch asked around the scrap of meat she was chewing.
€œI want it so no one I love will ever, ever, ever have to go inside again.€
€œIt€s not for mortal hands to have.€ The witch spat out a bit of bone.
€œYou know magic. Give me the power to steal the sack.€

When fire steals his family from him, Kipp is left with only his little sister to protect as best he can, and he€s determined that death will not come to her€“or to the girl he loves but can never approach.

But who would dare to master death? As Kipp finds out, it€s complicated, and possession of the soul sack is no guarantee of success. Dragon€ s Keep author Janet Lee Carey has crafted a stirring and original fantasy set in a harsh and beautiful desert landscape, in which a young man who has lost everything finds the strength within himself to care for those he loves€“and to allow those he cannot keep close to him to take a path he cannot follow.
