Honestly, I'm just here for the Keefe fanart. Audiobooks? I guess if you're into that. My brain just wanders if I'm not reading the words myself. But yeah, my friend uses Audible and loves it. To each their own!

Sometimes the publisher's website has direct links. Shannon Messenger's site or the Simon & Schuster Young Readers page might point you to authorized sellers. It's a good way to ensure your money is going through the proper channels. Authors often have preferred retailers listed.

Book 1
It starts with a curse.
Jackson King, the most ruthless Alpha King, knows exactly when he will die—cursed by a fate he can’t escape. With his time running out, his last mission is clear: he must save his bloodline before it's too late. But there’s a catch—the only one who can help him is Layla Carlisle. A debt-ridden hotel maid. A disrespectful, wolfless half-blood!
Desperate to give her sister a better life, Layla agrees to become Jax’s surrogate, never imagining the dark and dangerous world she’s stepping into. His cold allies look at her with contempt, and Jax himself is a mystery. But as the days pass and the bond between them grows, Layla faces an impossible choice: fulfil her promise and give up the child she’s carrying or confront the deep scars of her own abandonment.
Together, they must navigate the treacherous world of werewolf politics, curses, and a connection neither of them expected—one that could destroy them both.
***This is the third book in the series***
I lost the girl, the love of my life.
I lost my family.
Now I’m lost.
I thought after the war for Riocht, life would get back to normal.
I was so very, very wrong.
Kellen, now King of the werewolves, thought after Lamia and Mathias claimed the throne and became the King and Queen of shifters, life would go on as normal. That he would rule his kingdom and search for his own mate and live happily ever after.
There was still so much to do. He still hadn’t completely taken control of his position as King, leaving his father’s Beta and Delta in charge. Kingdoms and packs still needed to be repaired; he still needed to be officially crowned.
And he still needed to grieve the death of his parents.
Kellen wakes up to find himself on a boat, going to Goddess knows where and the last thing he remembers is saying goodbye to Lamia and heading home with Mike.
When he finds himself in a strange land, sold to a bloody thirsty Alpha and his deranged Luna, for their packs entertainment, his title, means nothing. A man who cares only for three things; the games, the money, and blood; the more shed the better.
While Lamia and Mike search for him on the wrong continent Kellen is thrust into the Gladiator games. Kellen fights for his survival and the lives of many, including one beautiful girl who has captured his heart and has been promised to another as their chosen mate.
Can Kellen survive the Gladiator games when the odds are stacked against him, save the people and claim the mate the moon goddess promised him?
**This is book 3 in The Delta's Daughter series**
Ishida, a young man, unexpectedly meets a girl named Rhina by sheer fate. But before long, a war erupts and they are captured by soldiers led by the malicious Lieutenant Monte.
The lieutenant gives them a dreadfully simple choice: leave their homes in search of a legendary "lost city at sea," its immortal king, and bring back a mind-boggling amount of gold, or have their mountain reduced to ashes. Ishida’s father had set out in search of the place, too, but never returned.
The journey will take them across oceans, sun-scorched deserts, and over perilous mountains; but most importantly of all: the two will discover their true selves will discover their true selves when they confront what will determine their fate.
The questions remain: will they be able to find the lost city at sea and bring its treasures back to the avaricious lieutenant before time runs out? Or, perhaps the place they are searching for is simply non-existent?
I was never supposed to end up here.
One moment I was a college student with a normal life. The next, I was standing in a courtroom while a stranger decided my fate with a voice too calm for what he was doing to me. They called it justice. I call it a lie.
Now I’m trapped on an island prison surrounded by endless ocean, where no one speaks my language and every mistake costs more than I can afford. In here, survival isn’t about strength. It’s about control. About knowing when to stay silent, when to be seen, and when to let them believe they own you.
I learned fast.
I learned how to read men who think I’m powerless.
I learned how to turn attention into protection.
I learned how to trade pieces of myself just to make it through another day.
But nothing prepared me for him.
The Keeper of the Tower.
He watches everything. He knows more than he should. And when his eyes find me, it feels like being chosen and hunted at the same time.
He says he wants me.
Not as a prisoner. Not as a servant.
Something worse.
Something I might not survive.
I have a plan to escape this place. I’ve mapped every guard, every weakness, every second between freedom and drowning.
I just didn’t plan for him.
And I definitely didn’t plan for the way my body betrays me when he’s close.
If I stay, I lose myself.
If I run, I lose the only man who’s ever looked at me like I’m more than something to break.
Either way… I don’t leave this island unchanged.

She was never meant to survive their world.
Now she’s the only one who can burn it down.
Lyra thought she was just a girl with strange dreams and a birthmark that shimmered beneath moonlight. But when a celestial event rips her from Earth and drops her into the brutal halls of the Academy of the Ascendant, she discovers a deadly truth: she’s the lost heir of a realm that erased her bloodline—and she’s carrying the forbidden magic that could unravel it all.
The Academy is ruled by power and hierarchy. The weak are crushed. The strong ascend. And the Triad—three elite heirs born of elemental fire, storm, and air—will do anything to break her. Until they realize she’s more powerful than all of them.

As Lyra unlocks the four elemental affinities no student should possess, she becomes the center of a prophecy that the Council has killed to keep buried. But it’s the fifth element—the forbidden Void—that marks her for something more.
Survival means mastering her magic.
Love could cost her everything.
And rebellion might just start with a kiss.
Perfect for fans of Zodiac Academy, Throne of Glass, and The Cruel Prince, Marked by Starlight is the explosive first book in a dark fantasy romance series filled with elemental magic, enemies-to-lovers heat, and a heroine who refuses to bow.
Driving to work is my audiobook time. I went through the entire 'Keeper' series on my commute over a few months. I used Audible because it remembers my place reliably across my phone and car's Bluetooth. The integration with my car's dashboard controls is smoother than with the library apps, in my experience.
Yep, and it's super convenient. I have a long commute through areas with poor service. Having my audiobooks downloaded is a lifesaver. I got 'Keeper' through a Chirp deal—they emailed me the file, but I still had to use the Chirp app to download it for offline play. Same end result: listening without Wi-Fi or data.
Sometimes the simplest answer is the best: go to the author's website. shannonmessenger.com has a 'Books' page with direct links to purchase every format from all the major legitimate retailers. It's a one-stop hub that guarantees you're getting a legal version. Authors appreciate when fans use these direct links, as it sometimes provides them with better tracking or a small affiliate benefit. It cuts through all the noise of searching and takes you right to the source. Bookmarking that page is a foolproof strategy for the entire series.
Wait, has anyone ever found an abridged version? Like, maybe for younger kids or for school use? I'm genuinely curious now. I've only ever seen the standard, long versions. The idea of a shortened 'Keeper' feels wrong, like serving a gourmet meal as a microwave snack. The richness is in the details and the slow build.
They're all available, but the order can be confusing on some apps. Make sure you're listening to 'Nightfall' (Book 8) and not the novella or something. The numbering isn't always clear in the audio title. A quick glance at the runtime will tell you—the main books are all 15+ hours.
What about podcasts? Some serialized fiction podcasts have a similar vibe—full cast, sound effects, ongoing mystery. They're free to subscribe to. Not a solution for this specific audiobook, but if you're looking for free audio entertainment in the same spirit, it's an alternative universe to explore. 'Keeper' has that addictive, chapter-by-chapter mystery that some audio dramas replicate.
Librarian here (not at your library, obviously!). We love when people use our digital services. It justifies the budget. To answer directly: most medium-to-large library systems will have purchased the licensing for popular juvenile series audiobooks. 'Keeper of the Lost Cities' is definitely in that category. The access point is almost always through the library's website under 'Digital Library' or a similar tab. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to email or chat with a librarian online. We do virtual walkthroughs all the time.
