Silver's Lure

I WOULD RECOMMEND READING THIS BOOK PRIOR TO SILVER'S EDGE AND SILVER'S BANE. IT'S LIKE WATCHING STAR WARS MOVIES. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS LATER FOR THE PREQUEAL TO MAKE SENSE. IT IS A GREAT BOOK, JUST AS THE PREVIOUS MENTIONED ONE'S ARE. KELLEHER IS AN AWESOME WRITER. IF YOU LIKE FANTASY BOOKS WITH MYSTERY, DRAMA, SOME ROMANCE, AND ACTION THESE BOOKS ARE FOR YOU. I probably wouldn't purchase these books for kids under 13 as some of the content is quite adult. I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THEM DOWN.Silver's LureSilver's BaneSilver's Edge (Reader's Choice)

A little hard to follow but still a good read and very much recommended.

I read a lot of sci fi and fantasy and this books ranks among the best. A great author!

In the land of Brynhyvar, the High Queen Meeve is slowly dying from what she thinks is the same illness that took her mother. In reality she is slowly being poisoned by one of her inner circle and the Loquileans whose ambassador is on a state visit and whose mercenaries are spread around the countryside. The land knows something is wrong and it is not faring well. Blight is spreading across the land, goblins are on the rampage and Meeve's children answer her summons out of duty not love. The realm of Faerie is affected by events in the mortal world. The goblins kill much of the court including the king and queen, silver fromm the mortal world is making its way into faerie poisoning the land and the magic isn't grounded. Timias, who was sent to the human realm to learn druid magic in hopes of finding some way of learning to control the magic want to keep the borders between faerie and Shadow (the human world). Timias is an unnatural creature who can become Faerie, goblin and human depending on what realm he is in. Because of his desire to make Faerie safe for the Sidhe he becomes the catalyst to changes the way the mortal world is ordered. SILVER'S LURE is a very pleasant fantasy that focuses mainly on Meeve's children, all of whom are on a quest of some kind. In their own heroic way they are at the mercy of their feelings of duty and obligation to the land and to their mother. Readers may have a little trouble following all the subplots because they are linear and not sequential while the romantic sub-plot takes a back seat to the action oriented storyline. Harriet Klausner
