"I want that soul sack," he said suddenly.
"What?" the witch asked around the scrap of meat she was chewing.
"I want it so no one I love will ever, ever, ever have to go inside again."
"It's not for mortal hands to have." The witch spat out a bit of bone.
"You know magic. Give me the power to steal the sack."

But who would dare to master death? As Kipp finds out, it's complicated, and possession of the soul sack is no guarantee of success.Dragon' s Keepauthor Janet Lee Carey has crafted a stirring and original fantasy set in a harsh and beautiful desert landscape, in which a young man who has lost everything finds the strength within himself to care for those he loves-and to allow those he cannot keep close to him to take a path he cannot follow.
