The Light Keepers - Mande Matthews

The Light Keepers is listed as a free epic fantasy adventure. It's free, but it's actually a short prequel to the ShadowLight Saga series, with the emphasis on short. I enjoyed it enough to continue with the series some day.

Astrid is a trained warrior, but she's only 17 years old. Astrid is guarded from contact with others by her mother Isla and her warrior guardian Balin. Astrid possesses a great power that she's forbidden to use, but she's young and lonely. Astrid is light, but she is drawn to the dark. Can she resist? This is a good novella that introduces the reader to the ShadowLight saga. Highly recommended.
