In this breakthrough thriller, Ren, a haunted but brilliant 17-year-old, is thrust into a fight for her life when a catastrophic meteor shower leaves her family stranded at sea. Rescued after months adrift, they return to shore far from home, only to confront the terrifying presence of banshees- phantom creatures that prey on anyone caught alone. With survival hinging on safety in numbers, Ren must use her wits as she embarks on a twisty and suspenseful journey to get to the key to her family's survival. Along the way, deep feelings ignite between Ren and a courageous Australian ally, further complicating her mission.
As Ren's path is threatened by a desperate gang, she must navigate a treacherous wilderness where trust is fragile and loyalties are tested. In this unpredictable new world, can Ren overcome her emotional scars, the weight of leadership, and a tumultuous first love to lead her family safely back home?
'Keep Close' is based on a multi-award-winning screenplay and has a 5-star rating on Readers' Favorite.
