The Author

Caldric's Website /  Twitter / Goodreads / Facebook 


Caldric Blackwell realized he loved reading when he read about a bunch of people (with single-syllable names) and their pets (also with single-syllable names) in kindergarten.

Exposure to a host of great authors while studying at the University of California, Santa Barbara inspired him to begin writing fiction. Although he began writing short stories for adults, he eventually migrated to writing children's books. His debut work is an early chapter book titled The Enchanted River Race. His next release is a picture book, The Boy Who Couldn't Cry Wolf.

Outside of writing, Caldric enjoys hiking, gardening, and playing a variety of string instruments. Caldric currently resides in California.



My Review:
This was an interesting story because the main character had to choose between power and his new comrades. He had no idea to trust. People are not always what they seem. The author created a world full of crystals, magic and sorcery. What will happen if the wrong people get all the power? The ending was good and it reminded me how powerful people can really be if they have to. I am giving this book a 4/5. I can not wait to see what happens to these characters. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
