ISAAC J BURNS
Stories for the places where the light grows thin
Fantasy and speculative fiction about forgotten things, strange places, flawed people and worlds that do not behave as they should.
THE DUSKLIGHT KEEPERS — BOOK ONE
The Light That Went Thin
The light is failing. The grown-ups can’t see it. And something beyond the wall has been forgotten.
Boo, Jax and Leo are the only ones who can see the light above Dusk Keep beginning to fail.
A frightened creature has crossed the wall. The Keep has called three new Keepers. And beyond it, something has been forgotten.
