“People
of the Field, of the Cave, of the Forest, and of the Mountain, and all the
places and habitats in between, our race is able to gather here tonight because
in time past we found that we were not the warden of the Earth, but the Earth
was our warden, our sustainer, our parent...”
Mankind
has survived the near-collapse of life as they knew it, now living in harmony
with the world around them. Adain, a young Tenderfoot of this Future
Earth, is about to take part in his Heart Chase – the search for a companion
animal spirit that will act as his companion and conscience for the rest of his
life. Success in the Heart Chase and surviving the subsequent Trials over
the year ensures his place amongst the People as an adult, but failure means
his certain death...
...and
his whole future lies on the Heart of a mouse.
Heartkeeper is the first book in the
“Heartkeeper Saga”, an epic adventure of friendship, challenges, and danger as
humans struggle to regain their foothold in a new world that is no longer
theirs to control. Can they survive in balance with the Earth, or will
the Earth decide they no longer belong?

Interesting
Facts:
One
thing that makes this cover extremely exciting is that the artwork was created
by the author herself! (To see more of her art, check out her art page on
her website.)
The
novella of Heartkeeper was featured in Clean Teen Publishing's break through
anthology, Wonderstruck and has received numerous
outstanding reviews. When B.T. Lyons accepted our invitation to submit a full
length novel for this fantastical story, we were so pleased. All of us at CTP
are super excited to have such a talented artist and writer on our team!
About the author:
B.T.
Lyons was born in 1973, growing up in Boylston, Massachusetts, and
lived her early life working on the family goat farm and learning
wilderness survival skills in the surrounding woodlands. She is
a jack-of-all-trades, having worked as everything from a zookeeper
to bookstore manager, to a horror theme park actress, to a
radio personality, to a builder of utility trucks. In a current
fit of happy mid-life crisis, she is a history major at South Dakota
State University in Brookings, SD.
She
shares her home with her husband and her thirteen-year-old
daughter, as well as a rat terrier, a Pomeranian, a ball python,
and a rotating guest list of foster animals from the local
humane society. B.T. is a rabid video game addict, and also
enjoys drawing and creating various Neolithic-style handcrafts
as her other hobbies. Her role models include Jim Henson, Jackie
Chan, Hiyao Miyazaki, and Bill Cosby, and she is inspired
by authors such as Richard Adams, Tad Williams, and Ray Bradbury.
