Great read! Wonderful story.

[Bill Tillman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Should not be read without first reading Allon. Great tale, lousy proof-ed, need an into section to be brought up to speed guessed at background throughout book. Still a great read.

Awsum

Such a delightful series, the Author has taken me to battle, with two boys. Taking back the castle, previously taken by force by bad force.

Love this book (and this series!) As another review mentioned it should not be read as a stand-alone! So go check out the first one. Other than this is a wonderful clean Christian fantasy! These are one of my favorite series and I totally recommend them to anyone (teens especially)!
