According to the
Utica OD, Shepherd’s first book started as a bedtime story for her two daughters.
“Keeper of the Stars” tells the story of Princess Luna, who has a kingdom on the moon and is keeper of the stars. Each night she is responsible for releasing the world’s wishes, and members of her team of stars do their best to make dreams come true. But there’s trouble in the form of Patrick from the dark side of the moon, who is trying to gain control of the stars’ magic dust, and Branden, who is angry his wish has not been granted. The princess, with the help of her stars, must find a way to keep her kingdom safe.
