The Keeping

They are building a god. She protects the man.

For twenty years, Sarah has lived a life of quiet discipline in a remote valley, her world shaped by her mother's chilling warning: some stories are doors, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

The lineage she carries is not a story for telling. It is a secret for keeping.

A thriller at heart, blended with a grounded historical fiction with a speculative, mythic core.
