The Gatekeeper's Daughter: Cavern of Light

By: Reimer, Susan

In this gentle middle grade fantasy, the balance of Maira's world is shifting. Her people, that live beneath the sea and also on shore, contribute to a unique adventure exploring the power of family, community, and understanding history.

The responsibilities as the next Gatekeeper leave 12-year-old Maira with little time to play beneath the waves. Instead, she works alongside her father, learning the role held by her family for generations. On a rare free morning, Maira discovers an extraordinary underwater cavern that resembles a long untold legend. She and her friends decide to keep their find a secret.

But when Maira is confronted by treasure hunters, she learns their secret has been betrayed. Evil has once again entered her world. Maira must find a way to protect the sea and unite her people to restore the balance of history, a task she can't do alone. But the survival of her way of life, and the sea itself, depend on it.
