The Keepers of the Keys: the Sunjewel of Stormiron Karen Fricker

Sara's grandmother dies suddenly protecting a secret handed down from one generation to the next but for Sara sitting alone in a children's home all she can feel is empty and alone, her life with her grandmother gone forever. A visit from a strange man, dressed in rough brown robes changes her life forever and she learns her grandmother's secret and continues the task of The Keeper of the Keys. She discovers she is destined to make a journey with elves to a strange land and to open the Gate between their two worlds. Father Wisby, her new guardian, takes her to live at Whitberry Hall, a wonderful place where people live and work together to run the stately home. Sara happily settles down to her new life with these rather strange people who although seemingly perfectly normal turn out to be wizards and sorceresses sworn to guard her. Her life, however, is in danger from Black Wizards and she fears that some at the Hall may not be as trustworthy as appear. With the Keys pulling her to the first Gate Sara and her friend Ruth, prepare to travel to the Standing Stones at Avebury and join with the elves to make a perilous journey through the Lands of Misthaven in search of the Stone in the Sky. Watching them is the great Dragon, Ribastra, High Ruler of the Sky.
