Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, E.K. Wise is joining me to talk about her book, Keepers of the Rock: The Debilis Rising.
What’s it about?
Tessa Horton always suspected there was more to life than what meets the eye—her unique ability is proof. Tú Chen carries the weight of his secret power, hiding it from his family to protect them. Their lives change forever when they are accepted into the College of Geological Evolution, an exclusive international school with a hidden purpose run by the ancient secret society known as the Keepers of the Rock, which trains those with supernatural connections to the Earth.
Keepers of the Rock: The Debilis Rising is an action-packed, character-driven young adult fantasy full of secrets, crystals, history, and science.
Set in the Keepers of the Rock series created by E.K. Wise, Keepers of the Rock: The Debilis Rising is young adult magical realism and earthbound fantasy.
What’s in this episode:
E.K. Wise will take us into a world of ancient secret societies, supernatural Earth connections, and monstrous enemies with an excerpt from Keepers of the Rock: The Debilis Rising, and we’ll explore aspects of that world, like the magic system connected to geology, the College of Geological Evolution, and The Debilis.
We’ll find out what to expect from the Keepers of the Rock series and maybe get some spoiler-free highlights of what’s to come in this thrilling new young adult series.
We’ll discuss Tessa and Tú’s journey from students with hidden abilities to Keepers training to protect the Earth, and discover the worldbuilding details, the rules that govern the Keepers, and the ancient evil threatening humanity.
Join us in a place where gifted students with supernatural connections to the Earth must protect the planet from shadowy forces, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
