Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they always had done, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her... When Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B - a shrewd and tricksy woman in her nineties - she meets someone who wants to hear her story. But Janice is clear: she is the keeper of stories, she doesn't have a story to tell. At least, not one she can share. Mrs B is no fool and knows there is more to Janice than meets the eye. What is she hiding? After all, doesn't everyone have a story to tell?

LP vinyl - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 je druhé studiové album německé speedmetalové hudební skupiny Helloween. Mnohdy je považováno za jedno z nejlepších alb skupiny, stejně tak se mu přičítá velký podíl na vývoji power metalu. Helloween je německá speed metalová skupina založená začátkem osmdesátých let 20. století v Hamburku. Prvním frontmanem se stal Kai Hansen, zpěvák a kytarista, který pak po rozchodu s kapelou v roce 1989 založil kapelu Gamma Ray. S Hansenem u mikrofonu nahrál Helloween EP Helloween a debut Walls of Jericho. V roce 1987 přišel do kapely zpěvák Michael Kiske, se kterým Helloween nahrál světoznámé desky Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 a 2.

Zane Obispo's new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can't control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there's a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn't know what to do with his feelings for Brooks. One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld? In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.
