My name is Jenna Solitaire and everything I thought I knew about myself, my family, and my future is wrong. My life is not my own. It never has been. I just didn't know it―until now…

Having mastered the power of the Board of Air, Jenna travels to Jerusalem to find the Board of Water. She is accompanied by Simon Monk, who seeks the Boards on behalf of the Vatican.

Jenna doesn’t trust Simon, but he’s her only source of information about the Boards.

In Jerusalem, Jenna meets Saduj, a local guide who claims he can help them find the Board they seek. Simon is suspicious, but Jenna finds herself strangely attracted to Saduj.

Jenna must find the Board before it awakens and causes unimaginable destruction. But will she lose her heart—and possibly her life—in the process?

"An intriguing and trendy concept certain to appeal to teen readers."—Booklist on Keeper of the Winds

"This compelling fantasy ends with a definite expectation of a sequel."—School Library Journal on Keeper of the Winds

"Jenna Solitaire is an exciting new presence... Bring it on, Jenna!"—Nancy Holder, author of Queen of the Slayers and Pretty Little Devils, on Keeper of the Winds

"The first installment in the Daughter of Destiny series, this fast-paced book can easily be read in an afternoon. Jenna's struggle to decide whom she can and cannot rely on will strike a chord with the reader, as will Jenna's reluctant attraction to Simon, a mysterious stranger who claims that he is trying to help Jenna learn about the board. The author strikes a good balance between action sequences and moments of introspection on Jenna's part….Recommended for all libraries with substantial teen fantasy collections. (4Q/4P/J/S)"—Voices of Youth Advocates

Great read

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023

I grew up in San Diego, and have always been fascinated by this crime. When this occurred, I was attending the nearby Hearst Elementary. The news coverage was incredible. A girl that attended the same high school as my mother had, many years prior, was shooting kids at a near by school. It was unfathomable at the time. Being so young, I could not quite process or retain all of the information about the event. Reading this book filled in so many details that I had never known. The author clearly investigated every aspect of this crime, and has shared his wealth of knowledge on the subject. I highly suggest reading this book. After having watched so many school shootings on the TV, over the past several years, we take for granted the rapid response by police and teachers to help save lives. This book throws you right into the chaos of the first school shooting, and how people's abilities to even grasp at the reality of the situation was slow to take hold. I look forward to the authors next book.

The blurb pretty much describes the start of the story

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was browsing around for something new to read when stumbling onto this one. With new I mean something not part of any book series that I have going currently. It is stated that the book is part of a series called Samantha Kane. Starting to read it is a bit of a gamble though since there is only one book published so far in the series. After having read it I do hope that the author continues the series.

The blurb pretty much describes the start of the story. Luckily there is much more happening in the book than Samantha’s personal issues with family and colleagues. The crazy man is, of course, far from crazy and I did quite quickly take a liking to him. Unfortunately I am not to happy about some of the events concerning him and his possible role in future books.

The core of the story is one I like quite a lot. Young person, Samantha Kane, discovers that there are things that go bump in the night and that she is part of the ones doing the bumping. I always like to read these “surprise” stories.

I also liked the main protagonist. She is quite likable, can stand her ground and do not go around whining about how unfair life is all the time.

Apart from wizards and magic there are vampires, werewolves and such like magical creatures roaming around. The book provides us with yet another take on what vampires are and how they tick. I cannot say that this one is significantly better or worse than a lot of the ones I have read before but it is plausible, in the context of a fantasy book, and it is always nice with some new ideas.

A lot of the book, pretty much all of it actually, is universe building and setting up the scene for future stories. There is still quite a bit of action going on though. Should I complain about anything it is that the author is rushing things a bit. Samantha goes a wee bit quickly from magical newbie to serious ass-kicker. I would have liked a bit more time spent in training.

Overall it is an enjoyable read. I hope the author publishes more books about Samantha Kane since I quite liked this one.

Great information with a sometimes difficult narrative to follow. Was it bland? Yes. I read and re-read much of the story. The writing style seemed to cause me to lose interest and drift away without realizing it. The story is interesting enough to want to get back to though.

This book has typos and it hung me up at times. Perhaps I'm especially sensitive to that sort of thing, and maybe it just annoys me.

Good Book

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2023

What I most liked about this book is that it gave the whole story. Almost all true crime novels lead up to the criminal being caught . Some even go through the entire trial. This book continued on to her time in jail, her relationship with cell mates and family members, her parole hearings.

Confusing writing and off timeline

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I was excited to see a book about Brenda Spencer because not a lot has been written about her. I don't think this book added anything to what has already been said. We keep being reintroduced to characters two or three chapters after get are first introduced, there are too long sections of the book that are transcripts, and a ton of speculation.

Informative, personal, thoughtful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

The author has drawn on personal experience from both his father who was leading the line in local journalism to his knowledge of an area he grew up in. Excellent depth in research and all based on actuals rather than what ifs and maybes. The authors access to the shooter for comment and insights adds a grim reality to an already superbly written book. Definitely one that can’t be put down.
