Summon the Keeper

Where saving the world is just another day's work…Claire Hansen goes where the trouble is. That's the job of a Keeper: cleaning up metaphysical disasters, closing holes in the fabric of the universe. Constant travel is hard, even with a talking cat alongside. But it beats the assignments older Keepers get. She'd hate to be stuck in one place for decades, minding a breach too big to mend.Then Claire finds herself in Kingston, Ontario, at a bed-and-breakfast with a literal gate to Hell in the basement, its assigned guardian nowhere to be found. It's fully stocked with weird—an evil Sleeping Beauty, a French-Canadian sailor's ghost, technicolor imps the cat denies seeing. The only employee is a Clark Kent-handsome Newfie with zero magic and less instinct for self-preservation. And guests keep arriving, with very particular demands.Disentangling history, mystery, and magic while keeping the B&B's doors open and the gates of Hell firmly shut has proven impossible before now. But since the alternative is being trapped forever, Claire will give it a try…
