Synopsis

The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the five lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite - and Lessek's key itself is just a nondescript stone Steven Taylor and Mark Jenkins overlooked on the night they fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Retrieving the key and freeing Eldarn's people rests with Steven Taylor, the would-be sorcerer from Colorado, who is racing across America with Nerak, the fallen Larion dictator, hot on his heels. Steven must reach Idaho Springs and find Lessek's key before it falls into Nerak's hands and is lost for ever - and with it, the lives of untold millions, in both of Steven's worlds.

Review

This is a second book of a three part trilogy. Although separated into three books, this is one continuous story divided only by three different front covers. It is definitely worth making sure that you can access them in quick succession.

The adventures of Stephen, Mark and Hannah in Eldarn continue but what happens to those they left behind in Idaho Springs? Again the authors have given a great deal of thought to the practical outworking of the concepts raised. It will also leave you bursting with questions and weaving your own theories. The answers to these are hopefully contained in book three. This book is as enjoyable as the first. Truly a haven of escapism.
