Reseña del libro "The Journey to Karrith: Elk Riders Volume Four (en Inglés)"
A thousand years ago, the dark sorcerers, the Kryen, were dethroned and entombed. The world has lived in peace ever since. Now their acolytes want to bring them back. Haille is a failure as a prince. Disliked and disregarded for his epilepsy, he is an unwanted reminder of the beloved queen, who died giving birth to him. Cast off by his father and resented by the masses, Haille's prospects are grim. Haille wants nothing to do with politics or royalty. He is a son who wants to be accepted by his father. With his friend, Katlyn, he embarks on a quest to find a spring that might cure his illness. Both stumble into a conspiracy to murder the king, destabilize the kingdom, and resurrect the Kryen. Haille and Katlyn reach out for help from two disgraced war veterans and an elk of unknown origin. What started as a quest for a spring, turns into a scramble to avert war, heal a kingdom, and avert the catastrophe of the Kryen's return. Elk Riders is high fantasy at its best. It's a story of underestimated misfits caught up in a fight on a scale they never expected. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, Elk Riders sits in a pantheon of classic and contemporary fantasy: Ursula K. Leguin's, Earthsea series; Madeleine L'Engle's, A Wrinkle in Time; Garth Nix's, Old Kingdom-Abhorsen Series; Joe Abercrombie's, Shattered Sea; NK Jemisin's, The Broken Earth; and a plethora of television gems from Willow to the Dragon Prince and Last Airbender.
