When Adian Thomas' mother moves him up to a Honor's class, he meets Antoinette Reed. He finds that she believes in The Realm also. Antoinette is called to The Realm, where she does a favor for Adian. She was asked to find the Glimpse of Adian's best friend Robby, who worked for Paragor, and try to bring him to the truth. She and eleven other knights are sent on a quest, to Yewland, where Count Eogen had been spreading lies. Will she be able to complete her quest? And will she be able to finish what Adian asked her?
I rate this book 10/10.

This was a great book. I liked the concept of traveling to a different world. There was a cool part in it where people thought all was hopeless, but then someone comes to the rescue. This was probably not as good as the first book, but I still liked it. I love this book, and I didn’t ever want my sister to stop.

Wow. This book is great. Enough battles and peril to satisfy the adventure-lover, enough secrets to satisfy the mystery-lover, and enough coolness to satisfy the... well, cool-lover!
All around great. Granted, some might see it as "just another fantasy book", but it most certainly has characteristics that distinguish it from others in its genre.
For instance, there is an unlikely connection between Earth and The Realm... but I won't spoil that for you. :-D Also, there is a good dose of Biblical allegory, enough to inspire and appeal to Christian readers, yet not so much that the books would be termed "preachy" by most non-Christians. It would still be a marvelous book even without these themes.
This is also a welcome addition to the book world because, by almost all standards, it is clean. I have tried many other fantasy tales and been sorely disappointed by inappropriate words and references.
This book is emotional, as well. Beloved characters die, yet even in those times, there is hope...
I will mention that its main downside would be, in my opinion, the fact that there were a grammar issues that I found distracting. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the plot and characters so much that I still am giving this book all five stars.
Super-powered dragons, knights, damsels in distress, spies, sword duels, and wolvins. Find all this and more... if you dare to learn of the Rise of the Wyrm Lord.
WARNING: As a fellow victim, I feel obligated to inform you: should you reach the end of this book, you will find yourself completely incapable of NOT reading the next one. You might as well order the Final Storm right now.
