Reviews
"There are very few historical fantasy series out there that can combine the use of information and action so nicely that readers young and old barely know that what they are reading can actually be teaching them a little something."  - Fantasy Book Critic

"With just as much adventure and suspense as the first, this sequel was a fast and enjoyable read. With another cliffhanger ending, fans will be eagerly awaiting the next installment. And I am one of them. This quest-based fantasy is a wonderfully fun and exciting story for young fantasy fans." - Sci Fi Chick

"As with the previous book in the series, there is a great deal of violence in Trail of Fate.  Also,while the religious conflict in France between the Cathars and the French king is explained well enough for the context of the story, some background reading may be useful. " - Children's Book Review

"The pace of the book is perfect and the action hard and heavy. I don't have one bad thing to say about this series and I absolutely loved this book." - Reading Review

"Trail of Fate is even better than the first book Keeper of the Grail. The writing seemed much tighter, the story moved along briskly with a great deal of action, and the main characters' personalities started to emerge as the chapters flew by." - Fantasy Fan
