Young Adult Fantasy
Date Published: 5/19/2013
Books written in blood. Most are lost, their Keepers with them. A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?
For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema.
Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn't get himself killed first.

My Review
This is a Fantasy that is mild and sweet. I'm definitely not saying that as a bad thing, its just sometimes Fantasy's can be a bit on the dark side. It is a quick and easy read that most young adults and even under the teen age could enjoy. Refreshing and clean with a well developed plot and interesting characters. I would recommend this to younger children/ young adults / and adults alike.
