In Chris Brodien-Jones debut novel, a young boy discovers the power he holds as he fights to save his sister from the evil of a Welsh sorceress. What was supposed to be an enchanting visit to the small Welsh village where their grandparents live turned into a nightmarish struggle for twelve-year-old Derek and his younger sister, Eve. As they get caught in a struggle between a group of ancient Dreamkeepers and an evil sorceress, it is revealed that Derek is the only one able to hender the evil of the sorceress to save his sister from danger, free the Dreamkeepers, and stop the snow that is blanketing all of Wales.

The Dreamkeepers is a richly imagined fantasy set in an evocative and mysterious Welsh landscape and library. The characters are all interesting, well developed, and believable, but the protagonist, who has the task of releasing the Dreamkeepers, appears to need additional time in which to complete his complex mission, and the reader may desire more of his intriguing story. As an early book by this author, it clearly points the way to future engrossing works in this genre. I'm looking forward to The Owl Keepers, which, I understand, is due in the Spring.
