My Soul to Keep

Things are not all well in the kingdom of Bedor. A rash of illness has spread, slowly but surely across the land, sending its victims into confusion, coma, and, eventually, death. No one can explain how or why these people have fallen ill, and no known cure exists.

Falmere doesn't want to leave the capital in the midst of emergency and sickness. But with Prince Bradley Layne among the sick, he's left with no choice. Following rumors of a Wizard who may know a cure, he finds himself exploring parts of the country he'd never hoped to see.

Meanwhile, in a tiny village far to the South-East, Penelope Tailor knows nothing of the mysterious illness. Her troubles are more mundane--a nagging mother who won't stop begging her to court and marry. A growing restlessness, a desire to leave her tiny town and see what else the world has to offer her. The fear that, if she stays, she'll never discover who she truly is. When Penny herself falls under the influence of the mysterious illness, her only choice is a quest to find the cure.
