Following the downfall of a tyrant, years have passed in prosperity for the kingdom of Ceredigion. Now, as the time comes to celebrate the new king’s nuptials, the specter of a new enemy emerges to destroy all that has been painstakingly built in those years.

Tryneowy Kiskaddon has grown up learning military and diplomatic strategy from her father, one of the king’s closest advisors. She feels her destiny lies in defending the kingdom as a knight, not as a Wizr as her parents have decided, though no lady of the realm has taken up the sword in a century. As she seeks to understand her own Fountain-blessed powers, she studies in the tradition of her mother while training in secret and closely following the realm’s politics, alarmed by her mother’s vision of an impending clash and a devastating future.

But the pieces on fate’s game board are in motion, and on the eve of battle, a threatening force irrevocably changes the future of the kingdom and her own. Does Trynne have what it takes to maneuver Ceredigion’s key players into position and outsmart the kingdom’s enemies—even those still concealed in shadow?

The Hollow Crown- a return to the world I love

ByWhtabtBOBon June 13, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Once upon a time, a beautiful, yet harried, mother of 3 found a book on Kindle Unlimited. It was about a 8 year-old boy named Owen Kiskaddon, who liked to make intricate designs with tiles, and his evil king. This twist on Richard III's tale immediately intrigued the woman, who promptly downloaded every book in the series. She fell in love with Owen, with Elysabeth Victoria Mortimer, and the mysterious magical land of Ceredigion.

The mother travelled with Owen and his friends through many journeys, laughing and crying as the story called for her to do, until the story seemingly came to a happy ending in The King's Traitor. She was content to let the story go, but Mr. Wheeler wasn't. Trolling Facebook one day, the mother happened upon a notification from Mr. Wheeler that he had, indeed, written another tale. Convinced that it could not possibly be as good as the original stories, the mother asked for an advance copy. She patiently finished the book that she was reading then proceeded to read The Hollow Crown... and promptly began ignoring her children and thirsting for the next installment.

The Hollow Crown is a clever and skillful weaving of the War of the Roses with Arthurian legend with the added thread of St. Joan's story. Honestly, it's a beautiful tale. Ceredigion reminds me of Narnia, and I just want to go there, let my mind rest, and follow the words of the Fountain. I wasn't so fond of The Maid's War, but The Hollow Crown wiped that all away. I see why Mr. Wheeler needed to write that tale down. It's an integral part of the overall story, in spite of being a stand-alone novel. The Hollow Crown is an achievement. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the series. Outstanding work, Mr. Wheeler!

I received an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another magical journey!

ByJenniferon June 15, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Well he's gone and done it again! Taking me out of this realm of reality and swept me away on to another time and place which is wonderful in my book. Jeff Wheeler just has a knack for the finest storytelling of a complete other world with kings and lords and ladies and palaces. Let's not forget the magic, intrigue and courtly behavior. This story revolves around Trynne a daughter of Owen from one of the earlier books, and she is coming into her own and she is meant to become a Wizr like her mom, but, she is a lot like her dad. But there is more to it as well remember Magic! If you're going to read this I do recommend that you read the previous 3 because a lot of things tie in to this story and you may not get who or what the characters are speaking of. I highly recommend this for anyone of any age. Thanks go to Jeff Wheeler for sharing your heart and soul with us on this journey, I anxiously await the next one.

Excellent writing, excellent characters, and excellent storyline. Buy this one now.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent link to what is really a second series. New characters, new dramas, and new adventure. If you loved the first 3 books you will love the next lot just as much.

New enemies and old bring this new generation's story to life and the world building continues. Highly recommended reading for anyone who loves fantasy adventure. If you are not already hooked on this series, go get book one and get started.

Fabulous as usual!

ByChocopie DXon July 12, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An excellent addition to this fantastic series.
I thought the Kingfountain series was done after the bittersweet ending in the third book. Turns out it wasn't, hooray! This is a series that draws you in and keeps you spellbound. The characters stay with you long after the book is finished.

The story, the characters, the world building are impressive. I love that the characters are drawn in shades of grey. This is no "good guy with a magical sword vs bad guy" fantasy epic, it's much more. Very few male writers can write convincing, well-rounded female characters - this one can. I loved Trynne and her journey and can't wait for the next installment.

It was great to revisit Owen Kiskaddon and others

ByKindle Customeron June 17, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Can't wait for book 5! It was great to revisit Owen Kiskaddon and others. Trynne was a great protagonist. Kingfountain has been a splendid series, and Jeff Wheeler is an amazing writer. Hollow Crown was one of those books that you don't want to end, but can't wait to finish to see HOW it ends. This series could go on forever, and I'd be happy.

They just keep getting better...

ByKris MacPon July 16, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The descriptions on these books never do the stories justice, and I always find myself drawn in so deeply I can't put the book down until it's stunning conclusion. Like all the books in this series, The Hollow Crown does not disappoint. Love it's connections to the Maid, and the way it evokes and awakens so many new characters. Like usual, I'm horribly upset that I can jump forward to the next book!

Even Better Than The First Series

Bydeb minteron July 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So I'm biased, I'm female and I like female characters in the lead. Trynne isn't pretty, she's damaged. She would rather live her father's warrior life than her mother's life of magic. How she sets about to change the limited stereotypes of women in her society is a story told many times, but Jeff Wheeler brings it to life with such ease you would think he was sixteen... and a girl.

Another good edition to the series

ByMattReaderon July 18, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I alternate between disgust of the publishing houses and the greed that creates never ending sagas and sadness when I reach the abrupt end to a really wonderful story. Of course it's a vicious circle because the abrupt ending of that story was either because the publisher chopped the artist's work into 3 parts for economic reasons or told him or her to rewrite the ending to allow for an endless series, again for economical reasons. All rants aside, Wheeler is a great storyteller and I still find this series engaging. I can't quite get to 5 stars because I feel the never ending saga coming on but also because I don't feel the story is quite as compelling as it was in the beginning books. That could be just my take on it at this time. Usually when I feel a series begin to drag I won't even finish the book, even if I've read and enjoyed the last 3 (or 8!) in that series. I think Wheeler is a solid writer and storyteller and although this book didn't wow me, the storyline of this series is still worth pursuing.
