Drawing upon ancient elfin healing powers, Naida has just saved the life of Hayden, a young wood elf, who had been shot with a troll’s poisoned arrow. Naida, Randin, and their friendly lynx, Mikki, decide to return the weakened woodelf to her people, the Silverwood Elves of the Encircled Empire, far beyond the Red Mountains. As their quest continues, the gnomes soon find themselves dealing with nasty dark elves and a cantankerous old sprite who sends the young elves on a mission—a mission that will leave Naida with lingering questions about her missing parents. “Daddy, write me a story! A story about gnomes! There’re no good stories about gnomes!” Ken Ramirez, a high school science teacher in the California Sierra Foothills, had never thought about writing until his daughter asked for a story. That night, Naida began her quest—a five-year quest in the writing. Enjoy!

Beyond the Red Mountains,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Beyond the Red Mountains: Book Two of the Naida's Quest Trilogy (Paperback)
I am nine years old and have read both of Ken Ramirez's books. This book was physically impossible to put down. I like how he spun golden looms of detailed pictures. In this book I enjoyed how Naida, Randin, and Hayden had to overcome many obstacles and tasks. My favorite task was when the Rock Sprite gave them the task of stopping the poison that was spreading throughout the mountain.
If you enjoy fantasy, characters that come to life and seem real, never-ending adventure, and detailed descriptions you will love this book. Sydni Caet Smith

Review by Barbara Szijarto President of the World Wide Gnome Association,
This review is from: Beyond the Red Mountains: Book Two of the Naida's Quest Trilogy (Paperback)
Ken has a special talent to cross borders merging folklore with fantasy
in such an amazing way. And he paints pictures with his words in a fashion that makes you feel as if you are watching a movie. His characters possess such believable personalities. I found his work very unique falling between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings; it is sure to captivate both those followers as well as those in between. Book two can be followed by all, even if you never read the first of the trilogy, due to Ken's hints relating to certain "gifts" given to the questing group in book one. Once you reach the end of either book you are certain to be left with a desire to keep on questing! Can't wait for book three!
