BLURB: 

Are some people beyond saving? 

Despite Bernard's betrayal, Morlave refuses to give up on his best friend. Without a clue of any kind, Morlave and his old classmates wander every corner of the world in search of Lacule and his son. But as months go by and hope dwindles, Morlave must face the reality that his friend may be gone forever.

However, just when all seems lost, encouragement comes from an unexpected source. With renewed determination, Morlave embarks on a perilous journey through dark elven fortresses, unexplored northern reaches, dangerous dragon races, and even other worlds in search of his friend. As he delves deeper into the unknown, he realizes that he must face an evil greater than he's ever known before.

But this quest may be more than just a battle against darkness. What if it’s meant to last more than a hundred years? What if the very darkness Morlave seeks to defeat, threatens to harm the people he loves most?

Join Cornelius and his friends in the thrilling final installment of the Morlave's Magical Adventure series, filled with heart-pounding adventure, dangerous enemies, romantic tension, and powerful magic. Fans of beloved tales like the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson will be captivated by this epic coming-of-age fantasy adventure.

MY REVIEW

This series blends Harry Potter vibes with fellowship like LOTR, hard choices made selflessly, and incredible character arcs. This book is no different. I couldn’t stop reading it. Even through an insanely busy week, I read it in two sittings. The final installment hits hard. We see…well, we see a lot, like what pure evil can do, and what pure goodness can accomplish against it. What patience and waiting for God’s plan looks like even when the purpose feels impossible. What happens when you open your heart and allow God to lead and change things. Wow. I absolutely adored this book, and it was the most fitting ending that could have possibly happened in Morlave’s story. While I’m sad it’s all over, I loved this final installment so much. If you’ve read the series or you have yet to, definitely pick up a copy if you enjoy magical fantasy with hard-hitting truth, lovable side characters, and dragon companions.

I read an advanced copy; all thoughts are my own!
