The Cauldron

by Sean Kiernan

The Curse Conor's eyes fill with tears as he gazes on the parched fields of his beloved home. The Celtic isles groan under a The seasons are askew, and the once-emerald hills are sere and barren. The people's only hope is a legendary Cauldron, hidden amid the icy stones of the north, which can lift the curse and restore the land's bounty. Only a sorcerer would conceive of such a Quest; only a youth would dare it. Conor's sword is as eager as his heart, answering every challenge--until an awesome beauty steps into the path. Riru is her name. Is she Destiny, robed in glory like the sun? Or Desire, who, unrobed, will tempt Conor to death and dishonor? Based on characters featured in the Fox television drama, Roar. Created by Shaun Cassidy, creator of American Gothic, and Ron Koslow, creator of Beauty and the Beast. Produced by Universal Television.

This is a fun book if you remember the TV series or have read more in the series of these books otherwise you might be a little bit lost starting with this book. It's a good story but you don't get much in the way of character development and it can be tough to like people that you do not know.

In the first book Keirnan's narrative seemed exciting and the back story was interesting. I think this however was written in a weekend. Granted the show and characters were never too deep, so maybe Kiernan did the best a media tie-in author could do.
