Legends Of The Realm book 3
by Thomas Locke
| -From Amazon- Lady Shona, the newly crowned queen of the realm, is a leader without a throne. Pursued relentlessly by a dark force, her small contingent of loyal followers must make a difficult choice--flee or fight. Determined to save her land from nefarious threats, Lady Shona decides that she must seek out the enemy and attack them head on--a strategy that leads back to the region of the Three Valleys where Hyam was born. Alas, Hyam has been struck by a mysterious illness that is silently sweeping through the realm. Known as the wasting disease, the sickness has no cure. But there is one shred of hope for Lady Shona and the realm--and it comes in the most unlikely of forms. A young orphan, untested and untrained, could well mean the difference between victory and total defeat. Thomas Locke concludes his epic trilogy with a gripping tale of courage that will inspire readers to persevere even when all seems lost.

I've been looking forward to The Golden Vial for quite awhile now, ever since I turned that last page of Merchant Of Alyss, so I was quite pleased to finally get my hands on a copy. Even though fantasy is not my genre of choice I've really come to enjoy Thomas Locke's (Davis Bunn) variety, especially in this series.
The only problem I had with the book was that at the end of the story I felt like I had just as many questions as when I started. It seemed like less of a conclusion and more like there should be at least one more book after The Golden Vial. Other than that, I enjoyed the fast paced story, the fascinating characters, and Thomas Locke's ability to transport readers directly into the adventure of the fantasy setting.
If you are a fantasy fan I highly recommend the Legends Of The Realm series. Even though it is aimed more towards to YA market it can easily be enjoyed by adults like myself, or even as a read-aloud storyime with a little bit younger kids.
