The Libri GmbH The Last Keeper of Storm Hollow Paperback

Rowan Vale has spent his life as a blacksmith in Storm Hollow, a hidden valley trapped beneath an endless storm that villagers believe protects them from the dangers of the outside world. Legends tell of the Storm Heart, a powerful crystal buried beneath Hollow Mountain that maintains the balance of the storm through the chosen Keepers who guard its power. When the last Keeper vanished twenty years earlier, the storm grew stronger, leaving the valley waiting for the day its protection would fail. Rowan, who never believed in magic or ancient legends, begins noticing strange patterns in the lightning and suspects the storm is trying to communicate. When the skies suddenly clear for the first time in decades and a mysterious symbol appears on Hollow Mountain, Rowan discovers the same mark has appeared on his own hand. An ancient voice announces that the Keeper must return, revealing that Rowan has been chosen by the storm despite his doubts. As Rowan uncovers secrets from the past through forgotten journals and learns about the power beneath Hollow Mountain, he must accept his new role, discover why the last Keeper disappeared, and protect Storm Hollow from an ancient force awakening within the heart of the storm.
