In the timeless shadows of the mines, the guards' words echo off the walls, crushing any hope of freedom: You are nothing here! You have no power and no chance of escape. But for two tenacious captives- Decklen, a young man coping with the mistakes of his past, and Camberly, a feisty ten-year-old orphan- escape from the mines is not a dream; it is their reality. However, they must go back to free others from the debilitating darkness. But how can Decklen face the nightmare of the mines again? Returning to his hometown defeated, penniless, and desperate, Decklen resolves to seek help from the elder of Leonesse. Instead, he is presented with an invitation to begin a quest to unlock eight scrolls and learn the secrets within. Could it be that this quest will prepare him for the dangers ahead?  ''Like a work from Og Mandino, this is a well-told story that pushes the limits of what one usually expects of a fantasy fiction novel.'' --Richard Paul Evans, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Christmas Box and Michael Vey ''Scotty Sanders is a wonderful writer and Quest of the Keys is a great resource for so many, young and old, to grapple with what it means to be successful and live life with passion and purpose.'' --Jenn Gotzon, Award-winning film actress (Frost/Nixon, Doonby) Scotty Sanders has been leading organizations for thirty years, first as a CEO for a multimillion-dollar company and then as an executive for a nonprofit organization with over 150 employees and seven thousand members.
