Can you keep a secret?  Even if the secret is dangerous?  What if you had to keep secrets as part of your profession?  Fiona’s mother, Damiana is employed as a safe-keeper.  People travel far and wide to her home in order to unleash their burdens by telling Damiana their innermost thoughts and secrets.  Damiana, in turn, must keep their secrets safe.  Even when a mysterious stranger dressed as royalty appears in the middle of the night bringing a newborn baby and tells Damiana she must raise this child as her own, she does not reveal to anyone that the baby has been abandoned nor tells who the parents of the baby are – not even to her daughter, Fiona.


Fiona accepts her life, as unusual as it may seem to others.  She knows her mother must dedicate her life to listening to others’ secrets.  She also does not question who her father really is or where her brother really came from on that dark mysterious night.  All she knows is that she too will one day be a Safe-Keeper, guardian of secrets.  What Fiona does not know is that her mother has quite a few secrets of her own – secrets that will change the course of Fiona’s life forever.


This book (book one of a new series) combines mystery, love, magic, and fantasy to create a charming tale that will leave readers guessing up to the very end.

  1. When I read this this book I thought it was a wonderful story. This story is about people who have the powers of a Truth Teller, a Safe-Keeper, a Dream Maker and some others. There was a man who was a Safe-Keeper for the king named King Marckus. This safe-keeper brought a baby girl to another safe-keepers cabin for her own safety. That Safe-Keepers name was Damiana. She bore a baby boy that same night. Damiana had a sister named Angeline she was also a safe-keeper, who helped Damiana give birth to that baby boy. Damiana and Angeline kept secrets from everybody because that was their job. They kept a secret for eighteen years. That secret was that Damiana pretended that the baby boy wasn't hers and that the baby girl was hers.
    If you want to find out the rest check out the book in the media center. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes wonderful, magical stories.
