Keeper of Fate (The Keeper Series—Book One)

Keeper of Fate is the first book in The Keeper Series, a romantasy by Morgan Rice. A thousand years ago, an ancient library containing all of the world's magic was scattered into hidden repositories to prevent a great evil from obtaining it. A prophecy emerged stating that only the Chosen One would find them. On his eighteenth birthday, street orphan Xander Ashwood discovers a doorway he has never encountered before. Through it, he learns his identity is not what he believed. As Xander searches for the repositories, he discovers others are also pursuing them. He partners with Rosalind, a charming smuggler, which draws the attention of Alessia, a noble daughter of House Veyr. While Xander pursues magic, prophecy, and romance, a central question remains: is he the Chosen One, or is he the villain destined to rise against the true chosen one? The story combines magic, destiny, action, and romance.
