Murdered contortionists aren't exactly what Vivienne signed up for when she ran away to join the circus. But like most things under the big top, nothing is what it seems. With a past she can't quite remember, Vivienne finds that running away forever might not be as appealing as it once sounded - because forever means something quite different at the Cirque des Immortels.

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families, and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived, and there is rumour of revolt.

Twelve-year-old Crispin has lived on the streets since he was nine - with only his wits and his daring to sustain him, and only his silent dog, Harley, to call his friend. He is always on the move, never lingering in any one place long enough to risk being discovered. Still, there are certain places he returns to. In the midst of the tumultuous city, they are havens of solitude: like the hushed environs of St. Mary Salome Cemetery, a place where Crispin can feel at peace - safe, at least for a while, from the fearsome memories that plague him... and seep into his darkest nightmares.

Summary
Even though thirteen-year-old Marcus Kanenas is confined to a wheelchair, he sees himself as a survivor and a dreamer. In fact, his favorite dream is of a world far away, a world where magic is as common as air, where animals tell jokes, and where trees beg people to pick their fruit. He even has a name for this place - Farworld.
When Marcus magically travels to Farworld, he meets Kyja, a girl without magic in a world where spells, charms, and potions are everywhere, and Master Therapass, a master wizard who has kept a secret hidden for 13 years, a secret that could change the fate of two worlds. But the Dark Circle has learned of Master Therapass’ secret and their evil influence and power are growing.
Farworld’s only hope is for Marcus and Kyja to find the mythical Elementals - water, land, air, and fire - and convince them to open a drift between the worlds. As Kyja and Marcus travel to Water Keep, they must face the worst the evil Dark Circle can throw at them - Summoners, who can command the living and the dead; Unmakers, invisible creatures that can destroy both body and soul; and dark mages known as Thrathkin S’Bae.
Along the way, Marcus and Kyja will discover the truth about their own heritage, the strength of their friendship, and the depths of their unique powers.

I have been looking for a fix since Brandon Mull
I had a difficult time adjusting to the reader Mark Wright, but I liked the book a lot and am downloading the next book in the series right now. I love Brandon Mull and have been looking for a fix that comes close to his books or the Harry Potter series. This book is original enough that it doesn't feel like the author borrowed too much from anywhere and the story is enough to keep me excited to keep listening/reading. I recommend if you like other other similar magic/adventure type titles.

Water Keep: Farworld- Unique Story of Two Worlds
What did you love best about Water Keep?
Mr. Savage has combined good story telling with well developed characters who have an interesting problem to overcome even though Kaisha and Marcus are only 10 years old.
What other book might you compare Water Keep to and why?
Take a pinch of Harry Potter, add a dash of Leven Thumps, and a smidge of Enders Wiggin, mix them all together and you might be close to Farworld.
Have you listened to any of Mark Wright’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first time to hear Mark Wright.

The Good Part Is That This Is Clean Fantasy
I am not a fan of undead and giant spider like creatures, but the story is clean with no bad content. It might be scary for some children. The plot is decent, but I wouldn't say that it is great either. I won't continue the series.
I tired this book because I really liked J. Scott Savage's The Mysteries of Cove Series of books. So if you don't like this, try his other series. They are clean as well and I gave them 5 star ratings.

First of all it seems like the story just jumps into the action with no background at all. I just cannot get into this book. This is the first review I’ve absolutely had to leave on an audible book. I’m so disappointed. Ugh, this story is cringy it never tell you where they are. It just seems like it’s not making sense

Amazing and addictive!
I loved Water Keep. I needed an escape and this book brought me just that. Water Keep will tug at your emotions and keep you reading into the late hours of the night! This book is full of so many twists and turns with various splashes of humor that had me listen to several parts numerous times before I continued the story.
