Once upon a time ago, a mother began telling her daughter a bedtime story. The daughter enjoyed the story so much that her mother began adding to the tale. The story grew and grew and eventually was transformed into this first book of Eldohr Adventures.

Will this book be interesting to everybody? Possibly not, but if you're a kid at heart or have kids who enjoy being read to then Search for the Lost Kingdom is the book for you.

When you enter this world that contains such p More...

“Eldohr Adventures – Search for the Lost Kingdom” by T.L. Wood is a wonderfully crafted, stirring adventure for young readers.

Eldohr is a land of myth and magic where kings and queens reign and dragons soar, terrorizing the countryside. Because of these dragons, Princess Zara of Castlegrove and Prince Elrick of Greengate, lose their parents.

The magic of the dreaded dragon, Alibastizor, is formidable. He captures Princess Zara and it is up to the selfish Prince Elrick t More...

Before receiving this book as a winner of a Goodreads First Reads giveaway I read the information on T.L. Woods' Goodreads page and found that the story of Eldohr began as a bedtime story for the authors' daughter. With that information in mind I began to read and must say I was not disappointed. As the story progressed I found myself making a mental list of those who would love to hear this tale.

Eldohr Adventures is truly an adventure. There are kingdoms, Trolls, Dragons, an Orac More...

Elrick Darkmoore, the Prince of Greengate, the southern kingdom of Eldohr, is not a nice man – he is cruel and tyrannical, seeking only to gain more power and things. He was not always this way – due to the machinations of the cruel dragon Alibastizor, his parents disappeared when he was young; his headmaster, a nasty fellow, told him they had left because he was a disappointment to them, and turned Elrick the way he is today. However, when Alibastizor steals away the Princess Zara Shadenbrook More...

I won this story from Goodreads, thank you! Good children's fairy tale although it left me hanging just a bit. I suppose that's where book 2 comes in. This story is a very easy read, not deep at all.

Who doesn't love a story about a dragon, a handsome prince, and a princess in distress? Eldohr Adventures: Search for the Lost Kingdom delivers. Full of breath-taking descriptions, fearless-fight-to-the-death battles, and mystical, magical creatures, this is the tale of Prince Eldrick, handsome, yet lonely and bitter after the disappearance of his beloved parents. The adventures have readers on the edge of their seats wondering (yet, believing and hoping) their hero comes through and saves the p More...

My sister won this book in as a firstreads and passed it along to me. As long as you think of this as a bedtime story you would read to a kid, it was really good. I thought it was a little bit unbelievable how Elrick was supposed to be an evil tyrant, but as soon as a fairy put a curse on him and forced him to go on a quest, he was immediately thoughtful and respectful towards everyone. I would have liked to see that new personality evolve throughout the story, rather than have it be a snap chan More...

Won this in a first-reads contest, and it was really good. I had a little bit of a tough time at the beginning. The tone of the story was a bit odd, and the writing style was not what I was expecting, but then I realized that it was written in the style of a "bedtime story" and in that respect, it was wonderfully done. It would be the perfect book for a child, and I'm looking forward to sharing the story with Devin when he gets a little older. The only complaint I have was that the More...

This is a brilliant book that is a perfect read for adult and child alike. It paints a wonderful, yet believable fantasy world with characters that will live with the reader for years.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but once you finish this book the wait for the next one becomes something to get excited about.
Forget Narnia and Hogwarts ... this is the universe to get excited about!!!!!!

This book was a very interesting read. The author has a vivid imagination that takes you to a world of magic and wonder. It has enough in it for the adult and just enough magic for the child, or maybe the child in all of us! I will be waiting to see if we find Windsoar and if he is reunited with Elequene. What about the lost prince, the princess, will they find their kingdoms? I must find out!

I won a copy of this book on the first reads give away. From the description it sounded like a fun fantasy type book, which is one of the genres I enjoy.

I was pleasantly surprised with the story. Anyone who likes to read about a prince who rescues a princess from an evil dragon will enjoy this. It is easy to read and has a clean story line. My children would enjoy reading this too. I hope the next book in the series will restore the prince to his kingdom, release the spell o More...

I love this book! It can be read by readers of all ages. Eldohr's style is concise, giving you a clear picture of the world and its inhabitants. Wood is very talented at describing what is in her mind. Its very creative. I can't wait to read the next installment!

When you enter this world that contains such places as the Valley of Beauty, the Forest of Enchantment, and Blood Mountain, you won't be able to help becoming immersed in this story of gallant families, heroic kings (although not heroic at first), evil dragons, and a princess-in-distress. While the plot isn't complicated (it is a fairy tale, after all), its doesn't lack in detail, either. The characters are well written, the action is nicely balanced throughout the whole story, & the fairy tale More...

I won this book from GoodReads and let my 10 year old daughter read it after me. (She'll be reviewing it too.) After the first chapter where the author had to set up the place and characters, it really took off. This started out as a bedtime story to her daughter and I could see where you could take a chapter each night to read to your children. It's good though, and I enjoyed it.

Just a nice wholesome fantasy story that brought me back to my roots of fantasy. Recommend this for children or any fan of basic fantasy. I recently went back and re-read it (as we are currently working on book 2) and remembered the reasons I fell in love with the story when it was submitted to me. It has all the elements of traditional fantasy with it's own unique twists that make it different then most traditional fantasy novels.

I won Eldohr Adventures: Search for the Lost Kingdom from First Reads. I look forward to reading it now that it's arrived. While I haven't had time to do more than look the book over I did notice the beautiful dragon illustration on the cover page. If the writing is as good, this will be a treat. I'll update later.
