When she was nineteen, she learned that she was the Keeper of the Boards, and her life has been filled with magic and mayhem ever since. With Simon Monk, she continues to travel the world and learn about the Boards of Babylon. She believes that sharing her story with others is important and plans on continuing to do so for as long as she can....

Review:

"The first installment in the Daughter of Destiny series, this fast-paced book can easily be read in an afternoon. Jenna's struggle to decide whom she can and cannot rely on will strike a chord with the reader, as will Jenna's reluctant attraction to Simon, a mysterious stranger who claims that he is trying to help Jenna learn about the board. The author strikes a good balance between action sequences and moments of introspection on Jenna's part....Recommended for all libraries with substantial teen fantasy collections. (4Q/4P/J/S)"--Voices of Youth Advocates on Keeper of the Winds "An intriguing and trendy concept certain to appeal to teen readers."--Booklist on Keeper of the Winds "This compelling fantasy ends with a definite expectation of a sequel."--School Library Journal on Keeper of the Winds

"Jenna Solitaire is an exciting new presence...Bring it on, Jenna!"--Nancy Holder, author of Queen of the Slayers and Pretty Little Devils, on Keeper of the Winds

"Jenna Solitaire's writing is creepy and fun!"--Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times best-selling author of the Seven Suns series and co-author of the Dune prequels, on Keeper of the Winds
