Welcome to the ARC tour for The Keepers by Sarah Goehrke, an epic witchy fantasy coming early this summer!
The Keepers (The Turners Saga Book 1)
Expected Release Date: June 16, 2026
Genre: Epic Literary Fiction
Sanverra lies at the heart of the Cardinal Lands, dynamic realms ruled by lines of great queens. While magic is very real, witchery is challenged, for witches bow to no queen, they hold loyalty to no crown. The queens may accept advice or healing from their local Covens of the Grounded, but they and their subjects are well aware witches do not offer their services without a price.
Aleris, adopted into the ambitious Orcharder family as a second daughter, is raised to hide the magic she was born with—until she no longer can. When she finally embraces her own witchery, she changes more fates than her own.
Queen Daphne of Sanverra’s word on any matter is final—until she is nearly silenced forever. When she lives through her own death, she begins to understand how much she doesn’t know about the witches of her world.
Greater than any Coven of the Grounded, though, is the otherworldly Coven of the Keepers, whose magic turns the very Wheel of the Year. These witches take sacrificed moments from the world to do so, adhering to only one truth: The Wheel must turn.

San Francisco is cracked open by demon portals, but Sorrel Redwood has always known the dead don’t stay quiet. A commune-raised herb witch with a silver mane and lavender-tinted shades, Sorrel makes her living banishing spirits and brewing intention oils. What she really wants, though, is revenge—the kind that only comes when she finds the demons who tore her mother from the world.
But when a botched banishment binds her to Ranth, a centuries-old wizard with more scars than secrets, Sorrel’s witch-for-hire gig turns into a war. Demon hounds are hunting. An ancient cult is watching. And thanks to the curse laced through Ranth’s golden bracelet—now mirrored on Sorrel’s own wrist—if he dies, she dies.
With her Scooby-gang of experts, a grumpy cat named Antimony, and every herb in her belt, Sorrel will have to decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice. Because in San Francisco, even the city of fog can’t hide the truth: not all demons wear horns, and not all hearts stay human.

Leila’s and Tobias’s pulse-pounding journey continues in the steamy third installment of Jenna Moreci’s award-winning dark fantasy romance series, The Savior’s Series.
“Leila wasn’t solely The Savior. She could be a destroyer too.”
Leila and Tobias may have escaped the Sovereign’s Tournament, but their trials are far from over. The sovereign is waging war against the ally realms, determined to conquer all in his path. His first objective, however, is much closer to home—find Leila, The Savior of Thessen, and kill Her before She can thwart his plan.
Now Leila and Tobias are on the run, and since the realm is crawling with enemy soldiers, remaining unseen is nearly impossible. Familiar faces join them on their quest, but the condemned lovers struggle to stay optimistic, as Tobias’s inner demons fight their way to the surface and Leila’s magic takes on a mind of its own.
Certain of nothing but their love, The Savior and Her Champion must travel across foreign lands and battle unimaginable horrors to secure an army that can rival the sovereign’s. With death and betrayal lurking around every corner, will they survive to reclaim the realm, or will they perish beneath the sovereign’s powerful hand?

A captivating reimagining of the life lived by the powerful witch Sycorax before her banishment to the island in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Born of the sun and moon, shaped by fire and malady, comes a young woman whose story has never been told…
They call her Sycorax. Seer. Sage. Sorceress.
Outcast by society and all alone in the world, Sycorax must find a way to understand her true nature. But as her powers begin to grow, so too do the suspicions of the local townspeople. For knowledge can be dangerous, and a woman’s knowledge is the most dangerous of all…
With a great storm brewing on the horizon, Sycorax finds herself in increasing peril – but will her powers save her, or will they spell the end for them all? Find out in this gripping and vivid narrative exploration of one of literature’s most mysterious figures.
Originally from Leeds, Nydia Hetherington moved to London in her twenties to embark on an acting career. Later she moved to Paris where she studied at the Jacques Lecoq Theatre School before creating her own theatre company. When she returned to London, she completed a creative writing degree at Birkbeck and is the author of A Girl Made of Air.
My thoughts: Sycorax is only briefly mentioned in The Tempest, mother to Caliban, she could predict storms. From these tiny threads Nadia Hetherington has spun a magical, tragic tale of a woman outcast and alone, who only wants to help others, to belong.
Born to a mother who is of the Moon and a father who is of the Sun, the girl who would become Sycorax is afflicted with chronic pain, an illness she has inherited from her healer mother. She battles with her own body and with the scorn of the local townsfolk, who will buy her potions and curse her at the same time.
The pirate Barbarossa saves her, she warns him of a storm that lays waste to an approaching enemy army, but not his men, who he chooses not to send out following her words.
But before he can ensure her safety, she is preyed upon by a man beloved by the people but secretly cruel and manipulative. She’s alone except for one elderly woman who tries to help her.
It’s a sad, lyrical and mystical story. The story of a young woman pushed away for being different, ill treated by the people who should have welcomed her, who should have been kinder. She could have helped them, been a useful member of their community. I really felt for her.
As someone who lives with chronic pain, it resonated with me, fighting your own body is horrible, it leaves you exhausted and frustrated, add that to being alone and rejected by your community, and it’s no wonder that she finds an isolated island a sanctuary. Long before Prospero arrives and enslaves her son.
*I was kindly gifted a copy of this book in exchange for taking part in this blog tour, but all opinions remain my own.
Her father chose her husband. Fate chose her mate.
Her arranged marriage coming soon, Aisling will soon be trapped in a life of velvet cages and polished lies. Then a thief crashes into her world—feral, infuriating, and impossible to forget.
Fin is a tiger by day. A man by night.
A cursed, bastard prince with blood on his hands and a heart that still knows how to protect. His crew is a found family, bonded from their years as orphaned magic kids. In a kingdom that hunts magic, him and his ominous visions are the only reasons they’re still breathing.
But Fin tells her a truth she’s not ready to believe.
Aisling is his Twin Flame. His fated mate. And their magic combined is the only thing strong enough to break his curse—and stop the dark, great animal threatening the kingdoms.
If Aisling runs from her father’s command, she’ll be handing her kingdom straight into Morrigan’s black magic and destruction, though the arranged marriage to her son may kill Aisling anyway.
But if she gives in to the bond burning between her and Fin…the very magic that should save him, may drain his life first.
Love was never part of the plan… Now it’s the most dangerous choice she can make.

Welcome to the dark and secretive world of Ashthorn Ward, the kingdom’s most brutal military academy—where weapons aren’t forged of steel, but of people.
Nineteen-year-old Lory has spent her life surviving Dunai’s alleys with blades, wits, and an iron will. Now, caught and conscripted, she must endure Ashthorn, where rivals are lethal, failure is fatal, and obedience comes at the cost of herself.
But Lory is not like the others. When the Ward uncovers a dangerous secret in her blood, she’s offered an impossible deal: survive their trials, and she’ll serve the crown as a weapon honed for war. Fail—and she won’t leave Ashthorn alive.
Overseeing her transformation is Captain Khayrivven Falcrest. Cold, ruthless, and utterly untouchable, he’s the last person she should trust—and the only one who seems to see the person beneath the monster the Ward wants her to become.
As war rises beyond the border and rebellion festers in the shadows, Lory must navigate Ashthorn’s deadly games—and her forbidden gift—before both claim her.
Enemies. Rivals. Lovers.
At Ashthorn Ward, trust is a weapon, love is a liability, and the only way out is through blood.
Bright Burns the Flame is the first installment in a darkly romantic fantasyscape, perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, morally gray heroes who fall first and hard, heroines who fight for their own power, and magical academies filled with secrets and danger.
Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Quicksilver, and A Court of Mist and Fury.

Through the deception of Hel’s general—the mighty black wolf and demi-God, SkÖll—she betrays the Gods of Lyrath to declare war on a race of humans with powerful psychic abilities. The Gods then exile her to Astaran and sever her black wings. With the help of her acolytes, The Anakaii, she takes control of Astaran.
AIDA is an orphan and nomad whose parents vanished when she was seven. Her gift of Dream Walking allows her to project into anyone’s mind and plant a suggestion that will compel them to comply. When her power leads to deadly consequences, she vows to never use the gift on anyone again. During her time in the wilderness, Aida’s relationships are sparce, except for the mysterious presence that has been linked to her consciousness for as long as she can remember…
When an Astaran Guard and tracker named TYRAN is tasked with finding an escaped prisoner, he finds Aida after she has been captured by four vicious servants of The Sovereign. Upon saving her from a brutal assault, the pair flee into the dangerous depths of The Furian wood, far from the reach of The Sovereign’s stronghold in Opeth city.
As they travel to the bounds of their known world and approach the towering Vazaketh mountain range, they encounter ancient beasts, discover a hidden race of exiles, learn the answers to the secrets of their past and future, and a solidify a soul-bond that may be the key to the liberation of their entire realm.
Chasm of Dreams takes place in a primitive world where only brute strength, cunning and cruelty have enabled its humans to survive. This story contains graphic depictions of violence, death, imprisonment, drugging, suicidal ideation, kidnapping, consensual sex, and threats of SA.
There is also love, courage, kindness and compassion…
