This second book in the series brings forth even more intrigue that the first, as Cassie and her friends continue in their efforts to save their parents from the hands of the evil Reficul Brotherhood. Enemies become friends and friends become foes in this time-travel fantasy story.
I love all things related to King Arthur, and this series, particularly this book, weaves an interesting take on the King Arthur legends, and the rise of Christianity in medieval England. I was completely swept up in this story, and it's endearing characters. I liked it even more than the first book and I now find myself eagerly anticipating the third book in the series.
Wonderfully engaging writing by this young author. A story full of suspense, intrigue, and wonder, to be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

This book was originally reviewed on Sara's Books and Things
I suppose I should have realized that this would have had religious undertones when I saw the reviews from youth pastors. Don't get me wrong I loved the book and if I get the opportunity I'll read the rest of the series. It just got a tiny bit overhanded, not bad and I know some people who will love this book all the more for it.
The Brewyrds are my favorite part of the story. Their abilities are carefully crafted, the abilities to wield weapons, to heal, and to mend songs of people.
I also enjoyed the setting, Camelot. That entire time period has always been a source of fascination for me. And this story supplemented the classic story beautifuly. Giving a new dimension to the doomed love triangle. Adding new characters to the original cast seamlessly.
After I finished this book I learned that the author is only 18. I'm impressed, I would've assumed that this was a more experienced author. Rosemary has an amazing talent, and I can't wait to see where she takes it next.
I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for my free and honest review.

I am not usually a fan of Christian fiction. I've read too much that is poorly written or simply hits on the same forulas again and again. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places...
This book was not one of those books. It probably helps that I'm a sucker for anything to do with King Arthur but I found this book very refreshing. Callie and her friends are sent to the past to learn rediscover the lost history of King Arthur and a sinister group working to eradicate a race of people called the Brenwyds, as well as secrets about themselves -- who they are and what they are capable of. Callie's mentor teaches her Brenwyd skills and abilities that have been forgotten over the centuries - things Callie doesn't even know to try on her own. Meanwhile, Will becomes sicker and sicker from some unknown, unhealable illness.
Callie, Will and company are kind and loyal to each other and their newest friends. And their faith grows over their time in Arthur's time, though none of them are very good at keeping secrets, which is weird, considering Will's past.
A great read for teens and preteens alike! I'll be looking for the other books in this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story that takes place in modern times and in the time of King Arthur. The main character is a Brewyd: a character who looks human except for pointed ears. She is able to hear the songs of nature and people. If she notices that people are sick, she can heal their song which heals them.
I loved that most of the story takes place in Camelot. During that time period, people liked the Brewyds; however, their opinions changde when they were convinced by an evil knight and his mother, Morgan that the Brewyds are witches.
This amazing book was written by eighteen-year-old. I hope she has a long career as an author and continues to write fiction for the Christian market.

Brenwyd Legacy: Finding Secrets
by Rosemary Groux
The second book in a trilogy, Brenwyd Legacy: Finding Secrets is a stand-alone book that will thrill young readers. I was fortunate to be able to read this book, as it is about four modern children returning to King Arthur’s court. I found the story intriguing, and engaging. The characters were believable and had alluring back stories. The use of magic, and science combined with the strong Christian belief system makes an epic story. The final pages with is dynamic fighting the expose of the mysteries of the story will keep the audience hooked. I will happily look into reading the previous book and the continuing story.
