Publisher's Summary
The tale of how an orphaned thief escaped the slums, united a nation, and brought a mighty empire to its knees.
The truth is neither plain nor simple. Sable, a reluctant thief from the slums, can feel truth when people speak. For years she’s been using that skill to try to break free from the vicious gang boss to whom she's indebted.
Escape comes in the form of an odd set of companions: a dwarf running from the past, an actor with a magical, glowing tree, a too-helpful kobold, a playwright with a knack for getting stories out of people, and a man and woman with suspicious, magical powers.
But Sable’s freedom is short lived. On the edges of civilization, they discover hidden, terrifying lies in the offers of peace from the brutal Kalesh Empire. Now, she must return to the city she fled, and along with her companions, attempt an impossible task: convince everyone, including the powerful Dragon Prioress, of the truth.
Except the Kalesh web of lies has ensnared everyone.
With her land, her people, and everything she loves hanging in the balance, Sable is the only one standing between freedom and certain death.
The Keeper Origins trilogy and the Keeper Chronicles trilogy can be listened to in any order. They take place in the same world but are stand-alone books.

A MUST READ for epic fantasy fiends
This was freaking amazing. Dragon's Reach has everything. Dwarves, elves, magic, religion and politics, found family and internal and external threats abound.
Sable is a thief, stuck in dockside stealing for a gang boss, trying to find a way to freedom for herself and her sisters. One day she sneaks into the side stage of a travelling acting troupe and has a chance of freedom.
Family and sacrifice are strong themes in this book and made each and every sacrifice, win and loss so powerful. Sable's efforts to save her family were realistic and raw even if flawed at times. The consequences of each of her actions just HIT
I enjoyed her powers and look forward to seeing how they grow as she learns to understand them as the series continues.
Sable is not 'the chosen one' she is just a young woman trying to secure safety and freedom for her family. She cannot fight with a sword or really anything. She has survived on her wit and pure survival mode for so long and that made her a truly unique and fascinating character to follow.
Kate Reading does a fantastic job of narrating and is fast becoming one of my favourite narrators. The voices, pace and clarity are always on point and really enhanced my experience while I was reading along with the ebook
This has to be the most under rated book I have read all year. It is fantastic. It follows what seems like a basic plot line on the surface but it is much more. Andrews manages to broach dark topics without the book feeling too dark and can be read and enjoyed by everyone.
I can't wait to read the next instalment. So happy I discovered this book

Narrator has a droning voice
I had to stop this book despite attempting to persevere with it.... the narrators voice despite the different characters always had the same monotonous tone to it, what a shame as I was so looking forward to the book.

Can't listen to the narration :(
After really enjoying the keeper chronicles I had high hopes for the next books but am sorry to say that the narrator has changed and not for the better. Think TikTok robot woman voice and that is what this is like. Bring back Tim Gerard Reynolds. I only got to chapter 3 before not being able to continue but the story sounded promising so if you can handle the voice I expect it'll be a great book.
