A boy, a girl, and a dragon. You think you know the story? Think again.As young Lord Lukas is about to celebrate his public betrothal of Princess Lilia, the evil dragon Haarlok strikes, snatching Lilia while Lukas cowers in fear from the dragon's infernal breath. His life-long fear of fire costs him the ultimate price. In an attempt to redeem himself and rescue Lilia, Lukas must pass tests of temperance, wisdom, justice, and courage as he seeks four prizes that alone have the power to defeat the dragon.

Edge of Your Seat Excitement!

It was very hard not to give in to the demands of my children who were begging for me to read more than one chapter each day. I was just as eager to continue reading as they were to hear the story. It's difficult to find books for youth that are not void of substance and full of fluff. This book is definitely full of substance and void of fluff!!!

A real page-turner.

I've been reading this fantasy-action-adventure novel to my son for the past several weeks, and neither of us can wait to get to the next chapter. It is intelligently written with a well-crafted story line which the author skillfully uses to illustrate life's conflicts, struggles and triumphs. It is a rare gem among today's pre- and early-teen books. Out of all of the books that I have read to my children over the years, just a few stand out as exceptional, and this one ranks among the top.

Inspiration without the Insult -- How Rare!

When it comes to the fantasy novel, I'm one of those reluctant readers who loses interest fast. But with Heir of the Forgotten Realm, I read the whole book--and I want my kids to read it. I value an author like Michael J. Svigel who can craft a great story, with great morals, and yet not compromise his faith. Finally, we can be inspired and entertained without being insulted. How rare!
