Book One in A New Dark Fantasy Trilogy
Scotland, 1953.
Eileen Binchy is pulled from her work as an archivist in Edinburgh and sent to fill a vacant teaching post at her old school of magic. She arrives at Dunroven Academy prepared to endure her professional exile, only to find it further complicated by Calum Markaine, her former classmate, who is assigned to teach alongside her despite the lingering stain of past crimes.
When Eileen suspects that Calum’s return conceals a purpose darker than scandal, she follows him across centuries on a hunt for lost, powerful relics. But the closer she comes to understanding what he wants, the less certain she is whether Calum is the threat at the heart of it all or the one person she can trust.
The Gold Keepers is a grown-up magic school fantasy steeped in tension and mystery, with time travel, elemental magic, and slow-burn romantic suspense.

The Gold Keepers Releases
The Gold Prince (Prequel)
Scotland, 1943. Calum Markaine survives by performance, slipping between accents and carefully crafted versions of himself. In his final year of studies at Dunroven Academy, and with the Second World War pressing closer, his father sets him on a task that may finally change the course of the conflict.
But as his path keeps colliding with that of Eileen Binchy, his sharp-eyed classmate who misses little, the stories Calum tells himself begin to fail him. In finally uncovering the truth of his father’s plan, he discovers he is bound to an ancient power and a burden that could pervert not only his future, but also the fate of everyone he loves.
Return to Dunroven Academy ten years before the events of The Gold Keepers for the story of how the trilogy’s deepest mysteries first take root.

The Gold Agent (Sequel)
Ireland, 1961. Eileen Binchy seizes the chance to escape her teaching routine by going undercover in Dublin. Her assignment is to get close to Rory Walsh, a Flatlander criminal whose secrets should lead her to a rogue Weaver bent on changing Ireland forever.
As Eileen sinks deeper into Rory’s world, the contradictions within her old ideas of duty, identity, and loyalty become impossible to ignore. Calum Markaine can only watch from a distance, torn between the instinct to protect her and his promise never to stand in her way again. What begins as a covert operation may force Eileen to decide not only where she stands, but what she is willing to sacrifice to hold that ground.
In this gripping final conclusion to The Gold Keepers trilogy, Eileen Binchy is drawn into espionage, divided allegiances, and the volatile politics of a changing Ireland.
