Seventeen-year-old, Eric, is a kick-butt squire to the most revered knight in Fallhollow. Well he would be if Sir Trogsdill allowed him to do anything even remotely awesome. Determined to prove his worth, Eric sets out to find the mythical paladin summoned to protect the realm from the evil lurking nearby.  

Sixteen-year-old, David, spends his days collecting school honors, winning archery tournaments, and trying not to fall in love with his scrappy best friend, Charlotte.  Right when things start to get interesting, he is whisked away to the magical realm of Fallhollow where everyone thinks he's some sort of paladin destined to fulfill a two-hundred-year-old prophecy. He's supposed to help kill a dragon with some sort of magic key. The same key that happens to adorn the neck of an annoying squire who's too wrapped up in proving himself to be much help to anyone. 

With egos as big as the dragon they need to destroy, Eric and David must get over themselves, or watch everything they know and love, burn.* *

Gr 9 Up—The first installment of this trilogy introduces two boys from different worlds who must join forces to save those they love. Eric, a squire training to become a powerful knight, comes from a land filled with magic, dragons, and war. He yearns for a quest that will prove to all that he is no longer a child but a man ready to take his place with the other knights. David, a teen from the modern world, is trying to get through school and not ruin his friendship with Charlotte, whom he secretly loves. When David and Charlotte are transported to another world, their lives are devoted to saving the world from the Dragon King. Considering they just learned that dragons are real, this seems like quite a daunting task. They must learn whom to trust and how to achieve their goal in a foreign land. To succeed in this quest, the two boys must put aside their egos and learn to fight as one. Keller Ford's debut novel will have YA fantasy readers thrilled to enter this new realm of dynamic characters and creatures. VERDICT Teens who love J.R.R. Tolkien and Christopher Paolini will especially enjoy this series.—Jessica Strefling, U.S. Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit Library
