The Plague Diaries (Keeper of Tales) - Hardcover

Praise for The Chronicle of Secret Riven

"The Chronicle of Secret Riven hypnotizes with the cadence of a fairy tale and the sweeping scope of an epic. I longed to linger in this world of eloquent animals, hidden forests, and magical libraries, and felt nearly heartbroken to turn the last page. Ronlyn Domingue, like her unforgettable heroine Secret Riven, has a knack for making us all see the wonder in what appears to be ordinary."--Amy Shearn, author of The Mermaid of Brooklyn and How Far Is the Ocean from Here

Praise for The Mapmaker's War

"Journey to the heart of a fairy-tale land with doomed queens, epic quests, and enemy kingdoms in The Mapmaker's War. Ronlyn Domingue's jewel of a book has a big canvas, memorable characters, and intimate storytelling. You will be swept away by this otherworldly tale that charts the all-too-human territory between heartbreak and hope."--Deborah Harkness, New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches

"The Plague Diaries gives readers the ultimate experience--a uniquely gifted heroine, a mystery that unravels with spellbinding intrigue, and an escape into a world lush with magical detail. Readers searching for a finely written and compelling genre-bender of a novel, here it is. Enjoy."--Julia Fierro, author of The Gypsy Moth Summer

"The Plague Diaries is a book to get lost in. Intricately imagined, deeply felt, it offers up a rich display of distinct personalities: orphans and kings, parents and children, all with their own dark secrets. More than that, though, like all the best fantasies, it makes one feel that there are other worlds hiding somewhere nearby, no farther than the old chest in the bedroom or the woods behind the fence."--Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Brief History of the Dead and The Illumination

"Ms. Domingue has written a terrifically paced, beautifully textured novel to complete her Keeper of Tales Trilogy. She has given us a fantastical adventure, populated by finely drawn characters and charted with marvelous plot twists. But also a deeply felt, melancholic undertow that makes this world more like our own than we at first realize, and more vivid because of it."--Nicholas Christopher, author of A Trip to the Stars

"Domingue lushly layers Secret's hopes, dreams and visions...[the] tale will charm...lovers of fantasy."--Kirkus Reviews

"In Secret's world, anything can happen."--Publishers Weekly

"A map can make sense out of the seen world. But it can also evoke greed. And what of a map of the heart? Legend, allegory, fantasy--this second novel by Domingue entwines genres to cast a spell upon its reader.... A curious, thought-provoking story about how the heart's terrain bears charting, too."--Kirkus Reviews on The Mapmaker's War
