After fighting a powerful lich and his horde of undead, Raven, Romda and Ravai could use a little time off. When they are summoned for their new mission, they welcome a more mundane task. The king assigns them with a missing persons case in a long established town. The only problem is that this isn’t just one or two kidnapped people … it is one-third of a town!
Even though the town of Ashton is one of the oldest towns in the kingdom, the three have never been there before. When they arrive, they find absolutely nothing familiar. They don’t know anyone. The places are unfamiliar. In general, the people are quite different from the castle proper. Who can they trust? And, where is it safe?
As Raven, Romda and Ravai start to investigate, no shady characters become apparent. Instead, they find rather quirky and eclectic people. No one seems guilty, or at least not on the surface level. That doesn’t shake the fact remains that there is something wrong. The noose is tightening and if nothing gets done, even more will be gone. Could this widespread abduction grow and swallow all of the people of the kingdom? Snares and traps could be anywhere, waiting to take the three knights. Raven, Romda and Ravai need to uncover this dark secret before they to become part of … the missing.
“Regardless, the opening impresses with a nicely old-fashioned feel redolent of the Norton Juster novels for young readers. There is a folksy, rustic charm to the characters and narrative, the latter gently sprinkled with a hint of the supernatural that provides an instant hook.” –The Book Review Directory
Following their adventures in Malketh and the Undead, this third book brings the comedy and action into the next chapter of Raven, Romda and Ravai’s ongoing saga. Sink into this epic fantasy, full of mystery and the unexpected. A great gift for your Middle Grader or anyone who wants a fun, easy read.
What people have said about the series:
“… plenty of engaging action and some fun, silly, kid humor.” – Blue Ink Review
“this journey of three young knights at the threshold of greatness is filled with the promise of many more adventures to come.”” – Literary Titan
