Keepers of the Rock

When you know the Earth is dying, what will you do to save it?

Tessa Horton always suspected there was more to life than what meets the eye—her unique ability is proof. Tú Chen carries the weight of his secret power, hiding it from his family to protect them. Their lives change forever when they are accepted into the College of Geological Evolution, an exclusive international school with a hidden purpose.

Run by the ancient secret society known as the Keepers of the Rock, the college trains those with supernatural connections to the Earth. These gifted students have one mission: protect the planet and its creatures from the shadowy forces driving humanity toward destruction. But the Keepers face a terrible enemy—The Debilis. These monstrous beings manipulate mankind, seeking control over Earth’s resources and, ultimately, humanity itself.

As Tessa and Tú find camaraderie among their extraordinary classmates, they also discover the challenges of their calling. Forbidden from directly interfering with human affairs, the Keepers must guide humanity from the shadows, all while preparing for an impending battle with the resurging evil.

The fate of the Earth hangs in the balance. Can these young scholars rise to the challenge before it’s too late?

Immerse yourself in a thrilling YA fantasy full of secrets, crystals, history, and science. The Debilis Rising is the first book in E.K. Wise’s Keepers of the Rock series—a captivating adventure for fans of magical realism and earthbound fantasy.
