A Key Withheld

In A Key Withheld, mysteries hide in the shadows of Brune, a city bound by the oppressive laws of the Chapel. Moze and her friend Bach, two adventurous souls, are drawn to an ancient library and uncover clues about the Key of the Yolen-a lost artifact said to unlock the secrets of Brune's forgotten past. Under the wary gaze of a mysterious, ancient guardian, they discover hints of a long-buried power hidden within the ruins of the Yolen Abbey.

As they race to uncover the truth, they aren't the only ones on the hunt. Harret, a Chapel loyalist on the verge of promotion, finds his loyalty tested as he unearths the key's true power. Caught between his ambitions and the life he could rewrite, Harret will stop at nothing to take the key for himself.

An ancient power, a city's fate, and a journey through deception, danger, and dark revelations...A Key Withheld invites readers to uncover the secrets that Brune's rulers thought would stay hidden forever. Will Moze and Bach unlock the truth in time-or will Brune be lost to darkness?
