Keeper of Sorrows Reviews

A deeply original book. Centering women in this surreal high fantasy, Rachel Fikes creates an incredibly unique magic system that sets the stage for a mystery filled with political manoeuvring, transformations and so much more.

-- Sunyi Dean

Rachel Fikes has crafted a beautifully original fantasy full of sumptuous language and breath-hitching mystery. In Keeper of Sorrows, there are horrors around every corner, yet this gothic high fantasy is told through the lens of two protagonists who manage to find beauty in bees, humanitys last hope in an ecologically-devastated world robbed of wind. Fikes tells a story that feels like a descent into madness, where nothing is ever as it appears, perfect for readers who want to feel their skin crawl while being immersed in a narrative full of heart. Its impossible to ignore the passion seeping through its pages.

-- Gabriela Romero Lacruz, author of #1 Sunday Times Bestseller The Sun and the Void

About Rachel Fikes

Unfortunately, the U.S. Army doesnt issue claymore swords, and shes painfully tone deaf so that left writing a campaign that would wage on for a quarter century, leaving Rachel bruised, bloody, and downright defeated. Shes been a soldier, maid, door-to-door bookseller, Fikes Family Farm field handthanks Pops!leasing agent, baker, journalist, pageant queen/director, wiper of butt sweat (tanning salon), seller of overpriced lingerie at Victorias Secret, and dejected Wal-Mart cashier. Eventually, with skin thicker than chain mail, a shield of resolve, and the reckless, indefatigable hope of a warrior poet, Rachel finally fought her way into publishing. After quite the adventure, Rachel takes refuge in her hobbit hole in Austin, Texas, squirrelling away all the coffee, whisky, and plants she can get her paws on, and teaching ESL to the most amazing students in the world.
