The Keepers & Guardians Saga

An Epic Story of Time, Memory, Love, and the People who Refuse to Let History be Forgotten

A Five Volume Collection

Kurt W. Oster

History belongs to everyone. Memory must be protected. The future is watching.

When young physicist professor Edwin Ravensmere is torn from his own century by a catastrophic time-travel experiment, he loses everything in a single moment. His home. His future. His world.

At Ravensmere Estate, Edwin is welcomed into the lives of brilliant historian, Arthur Ravensmere, steadfast defender, Augustus Fletcher, and compassionate scholar, John Devoe. Together they uncover impossible secrets hidden throughout history itself: journals that predict the future, travelers lost between centuries, forgotten archives, and evidence that the past may not be as permanent as anyone believes.

Stranded in Edwardian England with no way back, Edwin expects only survival. Instead, he finds something he never imagined possible: friendship, belonging, and a family waiting for him more than a century before his birth.

At the center of the mystery stands Gideon Hawthorne, heir to a century-old legacy built on a dangerous conviction: History can be improved.

As generations unfold, that belief grows into a conflict far greater than any family feud. Across decades and centuries, the descendants of Ravensmere and Hawthorne inherit opposing visions of humanity’s future. One side believes history belongs to all people. The other believes it should be guided by those wise enough to shape it.

Then reality begins to fracture. Records disappear. Memories change. Entire histories rewrite themselves. A hidden war long whispered about in forgotten journals finally emerges from the shadows. A war not fought with armies. A war fought across time itself.

Spanning five sweeping novels, multiple generations, and the boundaries between past, present, and future, The Keeper & Guardian Saga blends epic science fiction, historical mystery, family saga, and LGBTQ+ literary romance into an unforgettable journey about legacy, identity, sacrifice, and the stories that make us who we are.

At its heart, this is the story of people searching for home. People finding family where they least expect it. People falling in love despite impossible circumstances. And people choosing to protect one another when history itself begins to unravel.

For readers who love the emotional depth of The Song of Achilles, the sweeping historical scope of The House of the Spirits, the imaginative brilliance of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and the epic worldbuilding of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and Cloud Atlas, The Keepers & Guardians Saga is a story about what happens when memory becomes the final battlefield.

Because some stories change the world. Some stories save it. And some stories survive long enough to become legends.

Because history is more than a record of the past. It is the story humanity tells itself about who it is. And someone is trying to rewrite it.
