Can we narrow down the "several years ago"? If the book was published
in the 1984-1998 period, it's almost certainly listed in the LOCUS/
Contento online index for that period (if later, in one of its
supplements), and this has a keyword-in-title searchable feature:

word search at
http://www.locusmag.com/index/search.htm
It's clumsy, in that search for a title word keep will also
bring up words like keeper as well, but the candidates would seem
to be:
GILLULY, SHEILA (stories) (assoc.)
* * *The Crystal Keep (NAL Signet 0-451-15560-2, Sep ’88 [Aug ’88],
$3.95, 348pp, pb) [Greenbriar Queen] Fantasy novel, sequel to Greenbriar
Queen.
<which was published about a year earlier, and is annotated as being based
on D&D gaming>
or
SNYDER, MIDORI (Madeleine) (1954- ) (stories) (assoc.)
* _Sadar’s Keep (Tor 0-812-50912-9, Mar ’91 [Feb ’91], $3.95, 341pp, pb,
cover by Dennis Nolan) [*Queen’s Quarter] Reprint (Unwin 1990) fantasy
novel of elemental magic stirring in a land where it has been suppressed.
Sequel to New Moon. <and whose sequel is BELDANE'S FIRE>
neither of which I've read, or Andre Norton's QUAG'S KEEP, which I read
so long ago that I recall of it nothing other than it is also based on
D&D gaming, and (I'm almost sure) was *not* part of a series.

>We have a patron looking for a fantasy series which she read several years
ago. She can't remember the author or title of the series, but she does
remember that one of the books' title is something like "Somebody's Keep."
The premise for the series is that there are metal rods which can steal
attributes from one person and pass them to another. Thank you.
