Product Description

What if the only hope of saving a magical world depended on an ordinary boy?

Peace is not easily found in the divided kingdom of Taelyon; its mortals distrust anything magical; its wizards are indifferent to the suffering of others, and hate infects everyone. The battle for dominance is never ending. Yet, there is hope. A boy named Torrein. When magic is denied him, he's chased from his own village by those he once called friends. Torrein doesn't understand that his destiny is far greater than any he could have achieved if magic had been granted him. Who wants a destiny soaked in blood? All Torrein wants is what he can't have - to be with his family and friends.

To claim his rightful power, Torrein must calm his fears and reveal the real evil working to destroy Taelyon. It will be a fight till the end of the age to reclaim the freedom they’ve all been denied, and though it's hard for him to accept, it’s up to Torrein to protect those who have been deceived, and to make sure the evil in their midst doesn't kill them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Fantasy Adventure for Teens and Adults Alike, January 22, 2012
This review is from: Torrein: Age of Fear (Kindle Edition)
Torrein: Age of Fear is an outstanding second novel by Shea Berkley. Fans of her first book, The Marked Son, will recognize the beautiful, magical and lyrical quality of her writing and the unique creatures and surprising twists one has come to expect from this talented author.

Torrein is a boy who possesses no magic in a world full of magic, and yet, he is destined to save all the people of Taelyon. He must undergo a harrowing journey to discover his gift, all the while encountering numerous challenges, unusual beings and even a few humans. This coming of age story culminates in a battle with the evil force threatening to douse the magical Taelyon into darkness.

Torrein: Age of Fear is a wonderful story for teens and adults alike. This mythic tale is reminiscent of Lord of the Rings and will carry you away into an imaginative universe unlike anything out there.

I highly recommend this amazing fantasy adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars CAPTIVATING!, January 13, 2012
This review is from: Torrein: Age of Fear (Kindle Edition)
"If you are tired of being afraid... then face your fear and break its hold on you."
Aye, 'tis an expression leaden in truth.

Torrein: Age of Fear wrapped its magical tendrils around me, teasing my imagination into fanciful visions - weaving dulcet, familiar tones into my sub-conscience. It wasn't until, bleary-eyed and starving from continuous reading, that I reached for a long drink of water and realized precisely of which imagery I was reminded - the epic scenes from the highly acclaimed trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

No, it was not the fact that this captivating novel contained goblins, or elves, or even fairies alike - it was Berkley's lovely use of descriptive language that kept me enraptured. Engaging and colorful, Torrein's charms are sure to win the hearts of even the most jaded of readers. With lessons to be learned by the hero & Berkley's readers, this imaginative author wisely molds Torrein's tale, suiting it to the young & young at heart. Adventurous, innocent and meaningful, I simply could not put it down.

I am often saddened at the end of books that boast the chance of a sequel as they do not deliver a satisfactory ending. Such was not the case with this tale and I turned the last page with a smile I do not often admit.
I am greedy: I want the next book - not only for myself, but to read to my children. I venture to predict you will as well!

- Ashley L. Knight, author of FINS and FATHOM
