Runes, Magick and a great storyline
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I was bored one night and decided to read. I picked this book up and was amazed. This book kept me going for ages. I stayed up till 5am to see what would happen to Spar, Hal, Brid and Bradwolf, as they travelled to find the runes of war to protect Torra Alta from the beastly Vaalkans. This is a wonderful book that a young teenager would enjoy a lot. I gave this book an instant five. The bad thing about the runespell trilogy is it's availablity in Australia.
Better than Jordan.

Put it down? Not a chance! This was a book that literally kept me up all night. Epic fantasy to rival the leaders of the genre. Great plot, imagery and writing pull you through the page into the land of Spar and co, where you're trapped until the final page releases you to wait in eager anticipation for the next book.
MOVE OVER TOLKIEN AND BROOKS -- WELCH IS HERE!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Ms. Welch has written a wonderfully pure tale of fantasy, richly woven throughout with dragons, witches, talismans, and sorcery but also bringing together the classic elements of heroes and maidens, bravery, truth, love, compassion, and victory for the good guys! If you enjoy fantasy in its purest form [like JRR Tolkien or Terry Brooks--except for his last] then try Jane Welch and her 'Runes' books.Also recommended: The Lost Runes
An adventurous, captivating yet beautiful story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The story takes place in a mythical land at the dawning of Christian times, and a barbaric tribe is threatening an invasion on Torra Alta, a barony in the northern mountains. The heir to the barony, Caspar, goes on a search for a pagan moonstone, aided by his uncle and a beautiful young pagan priestess. Once you have started reading the book, you won't want to put it down! It deals with prejudice against religion, love between a family and is jammed packed with magick, myth and action.
