Are you ready to face death itself? For centuries the people of Halcareth worshipped twelve angelic beings known as keepers, until the day that Len, son of Micah, received a vision, foretelling that one of them would set forth the end of the world. To prevent this cataclysmic future, the keeper Ybara appears to a boy named Alfred and shows him the way towards a mysterious chamber containing seven crowns. It is there that his eyes are opened to the spiritual realm where angels and demons roam, and it is there that he is burdened with the chamber's protection. Now, years later, the keeper from the prophet's vision has arrived on the island of Halcareth and Alfred is all that stands between him and the power of the seven crowns. Will Alfred cower in the face of death, or will he be prepared to sacrifice all he has for the goodness of the world?

We love to mix and match US and UK spelling with a smattering of French words.This book, while funny and endearing, discusses heavy topics such as mental health (on-page panic attacks), death, addictions (historical), abuse (historical with flashbacks), suicide (flashbacks), and homophobia (historical and on page).There's swearing. A good smattering of F-bombs.
