Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2007

Aymara Keeper's world remains exactly as it was at the moment of the Emperor's death. If nothing changes, everything on Thoslon will die. But the solution could be within her tavern-a winged child who may be the One to Follow, the Emperor's heir. She must take him to the Emperor's cloud palace to claim what she believes could be his birthright. Trellor Forge believes that the Emperor's death could herald the return of the Other Time, the years before the Emperor united Thoslon and banished the four warring lords to their mountain castles. It is time for the people to take control of their lives instead being imprisoned in tradition that dictates every part of their lives. Together, as they journey and struggle to protect the child from greedy warlords, they learn not only their world is endangered. Their hearts are, too, when they learn the greatest danger could be falling in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enthralling epic fantasy, April 4, 2007

This review is from: Sworn Upon Fire (Paperback)

After reigning for fifty generations, the emperor knows his time has come to pass on to the next life. His only regret is that the One To Follow is not with him so he can transmit his legacy. The sky has stopped moving and neither the moon nor the sun changes position. Aymara Keeper, who runs the village inn, knows time is running out because the food supply is shrinking. When winged creatures attack the village, they take all the children except her son Hakken.

Aymara thinks he may be the One To Follow because he has wings like the emperor had and he dreams true. She plans to take him to the Celestial Palace on the Winged Palace at Nadux to find out if her hunch is correct. Accompanying them are several villagers including Trellor Forge, who loves Aymara. Their trek is difficult as obstacles are everywhere preventing them from reaching their destination.

J. A. Ferguson provides an enthralling epic fantasy starring a strong-willed courageous heroine who readers will like and admire. The relationship between her and Trellor adds a nice touch of romance to the tale. SWORD UPON FIRE is a delightful treat for fans that enjoy a quest fantasy. The characters are interesting including a talking large cat and a yellow blob.
