From the Back Cover

A secret was a promise, and a promise was like a burning light in the dark. If you kept your eyes on that light, kept walking toward it, you would never get lost.

But sometimes there are too many secrets and too many places to stumble in the dark. Horace F. Andrews and his friends are fighting the battle of their lives, a battle that will decide the fate of everyone and everything they love. As Wardens and Keepers of Tan’ji, the fabled talismans of power, they have a duty to keep the world safe from those who would destroy it.

But all is not as it seems. When one powerful Keeper and his Tan’ji are kidnapped, the Wardens have to ask who could have betrayed them. Who could have let the enemy into their stronghold? Most shatteringly, they must question who the real enemy is. 

This third book in Ted Sanders’s gripping series leads the reader to new paths, new revelations, and new mysteries in the Keepers saga, where answers only raise more questions and the secrets behind the true nature of good and evil are revealed.
