Author Sandy Kelly delivers an imaginative and relatable story in her latest young adult fantasy adventure, Keepers of the Shield. This fantasy novel bridges the gap between the thrilling worlds of online gaming and the challenges of everyday life.
The book follows fifteen-year-old Jesse Finch, a teenager searching for freedom and understanding away from the strict rules of his stepfather. Escaping to his grandmother Pearl’s home, Jesse expects a quiet refuge and a few hours in his favourite online game. Instead, he’s drawn into a mystery that crosses the boundary between the digital realm and the real world.
Under the guidance of his game-loving grandmother and joined by loyal friends, Jesse discovers that his gaming skills are more than just a pastime. Instead, they are the key to solving a crisis in another world where magic exists and danger is real.
Keepers of the Shield offers a fresh take on gaming fiction's appeal, combining relatable characters with immersive action. Kelly captures the camaraderie, strategy, and excitement of multiplayer games while weaving in themes of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. Readers will recognise the thrill of a shared quest and the lessons that teamwork and perseverance bring.
Gaming has become a part of how we connect, solve problems, and build relationships. This story is about showing how the skills we learn in virtual worlds can matter in real life and how the people we meet there can become part of our journey.
Perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Sword Art Online, Keepers of the Shield invites readers into a world where every challenge counts and every choice could change the outcome. It’s a reminder that courage, loyalty, and belief in yourself are powerful tools, both in-game and out.
Keepers of the Shield is available now in print and digital formats.

About the Author:
The author began online gaming in the early days, when her four teenage sons would come home from school and disappear for hours. Curious about what they were doing while sequestered in their bedrooms, she started watching them play their online games— and then she began playing with them. She was fascinated by the graphics and the storylines. Many years later, she has shifted her focus to writing, though she still loves the thrill of gaming—despite the dangers of entrapment. These days, it's easier to step away and write about the experience, rather than be trapped in a dungeon raid or pulled into an all-nighter.
