About this audiobook
In this sequel to The Well of Tears, the last bastion of magic standing against the dark forces threatening the prophecy of the Ancients has narrowly escaped destruction—wrought by the sorcery of one of its own.
Reeling from loss and betrayal, the Stewardry at Fane Gramarye is in chaos. The young acolyte Glain is called to replace the traitor as Proctor and serve the new Sovereign. It has fallen to Alwen to lead the order and find the remaining Guardians of the Realms and their keys of power. Only then will the king of the prophecy win his throne.
When assassins breach the protective veil surrounding the Fane, an unexpected evil is revealed. The renegade mage Machreth has garnered new allies and his agents might already have infiltrated the ranks of the order. Glain must discover where the treachery lies before Machreth bends destiny to his will, but the truth is shrouded by secrets. Though her visionary powers are strong, there are things Glain can’t foresee. Can she still trust those she calls her friends—or her own heart? For even Glain has something to hide…

A lifelong writer, Roberta Trahan’s first works of fiction draw upon generations of family history originating in Cornwall and Wales, as well as her love of the mythology and culture of her ancestral home. After graduating from the University of Oregon with a journalism degree, Trahan pursued a twenty-five year career in sales, marketing, and publicity. Eventually the lure of writing drew her back to her creative roots, and she is now a full-time novelist and core member of her local writing community—as a speaker, instructor, and member of several writing organizations. The Well of Tears is her first book, but hardly her last. She is a Pacific Northwest native and currently lives with her family near Seattle, Washington.

Reviews for The Keys to the Realms
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was in the mood for a light fantasy - and found myself wondering 'what happened next?' after reading the previous book by Trahan, 'Well of Tears.'
Here, the perspective shifts from the sorceress Alwen's point of view to that of her second-in-command, Glain. The Stewardry continue to pursue their backing of Hywel, whom they believe to be the prophecied ruler who will unite their land. At the same time, they continue to deal with dissension and treachery within their ranks.
The writing is a bit smoother than in 'Well of Tears.' I'd recommend this for fans of David Eddings.
