Sworn to the Light

The Avatar Wizard, Book 1

By: Denton Salle

Narrated by: James Burkdoll

"Power comes from either the Light or the Dark, lad. Nothing is neutral."

Jeremy has a problem: he randomly turns into a black and white bear cub. The transformations panic his mom, but his father says he knows a wizard who can help. That scares his mother even more.

The volkh wizards once ruled like gods in their power, building the great golden city of Miklagard, establishing kingdoms, and trading with legendary places like Sheba, Chin, and India. Then, the Dark arose, and the wars destroyed much of the world. Kingdoms fell, cities burned, and the volkhvy were merciless in crushing it.

Master Anthony remains the greatest of the living volkh lords. Can he help Jeremy stop these random changes? And at what price?

Why is Jeremy's dad so worried? Isn't the war against darkness over?

Join Jeremy as he enters the world of the volkhvy. A world of mysteries and secrets where women walk in shadow, and men call lightning at will. Where endless war against the Dark continues.

If you liked Harry Potter or The Heroes of Olympus, you'll enjoy this series set in a Rus fantasy world where the lines between good and evil are clearly drawn."

Exciting start to a new Fantasy Series

In Sworn to the Light, we meet Jeremy, a boy with a curious problem. He keeps turning into a Panda cub. His parents take him to Master Anthony, who is the master of a keep sworn to the Light. Once there, Jeremy must learn not only to control the bear inside of him but to learn to master the flows of magic that is his birthright.
Set in a world based on our own, but with magic, this tale is fulfilling and fun. Jeremy is a likable boy who struggles with newfound power and finding his place. I very much enjoyed the Russian folklore of the tale and the entire world is fascinating to learn about.

A fantastic story

A marvelous story for young readers about magic, and mastery of one's self. A story that instructs, as much as it entertains. Something at times heart warming and thought provoking. A great start to an interesting series.
