Genre-blending and fully illustrated, The Tapestry novels have caught the attention of middle-grade and young adult readers alike--and the series is only getting bigger.Book One, The Hound of Rowan, was a boarding-school fantasy that School Library Journal called "a solid and worthwhile beginning . . . [that] should help ease the suffering once Harry Potter withdrawal sets in." Book Two, The Second Siege, was an epic quest about which Kirkus Reviews said, "After devouring this title, young fans will clamor for more."Book Three, The Fiend and the Forge, is an unforgettable dystopian adventure across a landscape overrun with goblins and trolls. The world has changed almost beyond recognition, for with the Book of Origins firmly in his possession, the villainous Astaroth now has the power to reshape history at will. Plucking pivotal discoveries from mankind's past, he has reduced the world to a preindustrial nightmare.But while most humans toil as slaves within four demonic kingdoms, Astaroth allows those at Rowan to thrive in peaceful isolation. Theirs is a land where magic and nature flourish . . . so long as none dare oppose the new order.That proves too steep a price for Max McDaniels.
