Enter the world of the Pix where magic is divided into three categories, or spheres: Wicca, Fae, and Black magic. It is a world where souls can be merged into weapons to give them incredible magical qualities. And it is one of these weapons: The Griffin's Gauntlet, which must be used to free the Pix from the tyrannical rule of the Dragon King. I really enjoyed this book's storyline. It is compelling and shaped beautifully through fantasy and imagination. The characters and backdrop were described in a creative fashion. The attention to detail and vivid imagery of the people and places really added to the feel of the epic. Definitely recommended to the fantasy fan.
Incredible imaginative fantasy!

Sharon Amber is whisked away and abandoned in a world where a tyrant has cast a horrible curse on the populace to suppress rebellion. Only Sharon, who is immune to the effects of magic, good or bad, can aid in lifting the curse and bring about the downfall of Bain, the Dragon King. I liked this author's writing style. The story flowed and transitioned from chapter to chapter and was especially captivating when new characters and places were introduced. And I loved the unique way its exceptional characters and fantastic events fit together. An astonishing amount of imagination must have been used to write a book like this. This is an incredible fantasy that kept getting better and better as the story went on.
A Good Read.
