Level: YA
Series: Crystal Doors Book III Sky Realm
Five friends, Vic, Gwen, Lyssandra, Tiaret, and Sharif are recovering from previous adventures in Elantya, a magical world that links to other worlds by ‘crystal doors’. Then Sharif is called home to become sultan of Irrakesh. On the way to Irrakesh the friends create a Ring of Might to fulfill a prophecy about them saving worlds. When the friends arrive in Irrakesh they find the city in trouble from their nemesis Azric, the immortal magician who wants Vic and Gwen for their unique ability to release his immortal armies that are imprisoned behind locked crystal doors. The fight that begins in Irrakesh is brought to Elantya and the defenders are overwhelmed from the sky earth and sea. This is a worthy third installment to the series. It seems there will be more books with these characters although they may be in a new series, since this series was originally supposed to be a trilogy.
