Can't Wait for the Movie!

This exciting book has all the makings of a great adventure movie: A mystical, mythical world, great suspense, an evil villain to thwart, a likeable hero to cheer for, and a romance to boot! Can't wait to see it on the big screen. Two Wrongs

loved it!

I'm not sure the person who wrote the publisher's weekly review read the book very carefully, since it doesn't seem to be very accurate to the story, but I loved the book! I really enjoyed all of the historical and fantastic elements that weaved together to make this story a success! I eagerly await the first sequel!

I enjoyed the novel Immensely

My father bought this book for me and my brothers. I was in the middle of another series and now with this one it makes 2 series I have to get the books for..... :) I enjoyed the characters and the storyline, following along with the legend of Merlin. I cant wait for the next book to be out!

strong medieval Britain fantasy

In 988 Britain, Merlin visits his former apprentice Kruzurk "Boozer" Makshare for the first time in seven decades with a boon to stop another former student the powerful Seed of Cerberus. Kruzurk thinks back to when he and the Seed were pupils of the great mage and he caught his peer stealing Merlin's tools. For his efforts Boozer was cursed and Merlin was gone. Kruzurk knows the quest begins at the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. On the journey he meets Daynin McKinnon, who shows him a rune-covered headstone, which is probably the legendary Blackgloom Bounty that will gain him entrance into the keep though the lad wants to sell it to replenish his family's dwindling fortune. While Daynin meets clever Sabritha Kilcullen, Kruzurk uses the young man to further his efforts to destroy the Seed. Others join his adventure not realizing how Kruzurk manipulates them as pawns in his efforts to overcome the insurmountable odds and achieve his boon. This terrific medieval fantasy with its Camelot connection will elate readers for its fast-paced, action-thrilled story line starring a strong cast. From the opening dream visit of Merlin to the final confrontation and more, the tale never takes a breath yet the motives of the key players are fully developed especially Kruzurk's desire and Daynin's struggle between fortune, love and good deeds. Jon F. Baxley adds to the legend of Arthur with this strong medieval Britain fantasy. Harriet Klausner . Harriet Klausner
