A curious little man in disguise seeks photographer Peter Wright to help him make out faded, strange hieroglyphics on the wall of a mine tunnel. The inscriptions lead to a portal, which the curious man seeks desperately. He finds it, but both Peter and his irresponsible roommate Matt come through as well. In the five years elf Rainier, the second son of the High King, was away, everything has changed. King Randinier is dead and Prince Rainier's brother, Ranfolger, is now king. The peace that governed the land has been shattered in the Tax Wars. The book chronicles the adventures Peter and Rainier must traverse to set the High Kingdom in order, involving all seven sentient creatures created by the seven gods: elves, sprites, dwarves, faeries, gnomes, eagles, and, yes, dragons. Pitted against them are the conspirators: senior elves who wanted back the power that Rainier's grandfather, the fabled King Rainden, had worked so hard to contain. With the inept Ranfolger on the throne, these old men have slaughtered thousands in their quest for ultimate control. Read of deep friendships, loyalty, tragedy, treason, intrigue, murder, battles, and magic. The Master of the Orgon Library, a refuge for humans, speaks to Peter: "Peter," he said, bringing his focus back to me, his eyes intense, "the forces of good are like a candle on a dark, windy night: a tiny light, easily extinguished. Once blown out, it can be hard to relight. It seems as though evil can never be conquered, only contained. I’m afraid we must constantly start again." Sink into this fat, juicy fantasy novel and travel with Peter, Rainier, Matt, many others, and, above all, two swords: Royal and Dag, both carrying more magic than has ever been seen before.

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015

I am a 65 year old female who very much enjoyed reading this book, which is probably written more for a young adult audience in the tradition of Lloyd Alexander's fantasies. It's a coming of age, finding one's self sort of novel and the characterizations are well-handled. Rainier starts off with not much going for him, and his transition as he finds his way in life is well-paced and very believable. The author invests a lot of effort in making this fantasy world that is stocked with elves, faeries, dwarves, sprites, gnomes, dragons, eagles and an odd assortment of humans into a real place facing a real-world situation, not unlike some of what we face on earth today. Excellent illustrations and maps for those who want to delve into those things. Yet, the action in the book is easy to follow even if you don't. It's a page-turner and hard to put down once you get going.
