Fifteen-year-old Aurion, being held hostage by a belligerent island king who is planning the conquest of their entire ocean planet, hopes to prevent war by introducing his enemies to the one true God.
Cherith Baldry is one of three writers who write the bestselling YA series WARRIORS under the pen name Erin Hunter. She is also one of several authors who has written under the collective pen name Adam Blade.
I love the character of Arax, I feel that the relationship between Arax and Aurion was represented very well. I also admire Meriu, her character was definitely one that was required. These three together make an amazing story.
I have lost count of the number of times I have read this book. It travelled countries with me, and it is one of my priced possessions.
The way the story progresses leaves me with a child-like happiness and intrigue. Every character is beloved to me, and Arax, through the eyes of Aurion, is one of my favorite fictional characters. I know I will come back to this book in a few years and I am looking forward to it.
