About this series
Four brothers have fallen to darkness, each cursed for all time. Possessed with unique powers, they lure, charm, and sometimes unleash a fury to destroy.
Four maidens venture out, each vulnerable and alone. Risking everything, they set out in search for answers to end the evil sourced from the brothers.
The quests challenge the lives and minds of the maidens as they question motive. Are they still trying to save their people from harm, or futilely redeem heartless beings for the sake of love? Because somehow while daring, their hearts are stolen in what could be the quickest path to destruction, the greatest betrayal of all.
The Brother's Keep is a compilation of four allegorical fantasy-romance novellas written from a Biblical worldview. Each novella focuses on one particular brother and one maiden in a specific domain. Along the way, meet Lily of the Valley, Bright & Morning Star, Promise the King, and The Messenger; characters vital to these young women who find themselves lost in the keeps of alluring yet unscrupulous brothers.

1
Elected as the Songstress, Aria takes her place on the sacred platform to sing before every dawn. As long as she does so, peace and abundant life belong to her people. One morning, everything goes wrong and she loses her ability to make music when Aria is distracted by a strange wind, an eerie howl and a shape, almost like that of a man, appears. The dreaded Il-Bora, a magnificent winged creature, prophesied by Aria's people as the one who brings death, watches the singer with intent. He is set to doom her by orders from his master, the evil serpent, yet her voice gives him pause. More than her voice. In fact, he is strangely drawn to the girl and finds, for the first time, unable to do his master's bidding. The Il-Bora is severely punished and tragedy strikes Aria's village, yet somehow the two survive. The greatest calamity might be that she has come to adore the cause of her blunder, the winged man who's stolen more than her voice, her heart too. And the Il-Bora? He's beginning to comprehend a strange, new warmth.
