The final champion stirs and reaches out to any who can hear her voice. Yet all who heed her call will disappear into the misty fugue.

Hunting for another temple once used to seal Baron Kernaghan, they are unaware that the game of destiny has changed.

About the Author:

Charles Yallowitz was born and raised on Long Island, NY, but he has spent most of his life wandering his own imagination in a blissful haze. Occasionally, he would return from this world for the necessities such as food, showers, and Saturday morning cartoons. One day he returned from his imagination and decided he would share his stories with the world. After his wife decided that she was tired of hearing the same stories repeatedly, she convinced him that it would make more sense to follow his dream of being a fantasy author. So, locked within the house under orders to shut up and get to work, Charles brings you Legends of Windemere. He looks forward to sharing all of his stories with you and his wife is happy he finally has someone else to play with.

CURSE OF THE DARK WIND

Curse of the Dark Wind by Charles Yallowitz Review

http://www.amazon.com/Curse-Dark-Wind-Legends-Windemere-ebook/dp/B00QW8UBG2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420077859&sr=8-1&keywords=Curse+of+the+Dark+Wind
Four and a half stars out of five

Book Six in the Legends of Windemere series is full of action, fantasy and adventure.

Luke, and the other champions, try to solve the mystery of the Living Curse. It takes them on a journey to Gale Hollow and then on to Widowhorn and the Garden of Uli. Luke appears to be the champion who is targeted in this book in the series. As he and his friends battle all sorts of creatures, are visited by an old friend, and discover new found magic and talent.

I really enjoyed Fizzle in this book. He was allowed to shine with his abilities and the champions seem to rely on him throughout much of this book.

These are fun books to read. I recommend reading them in order though so you will have full understanding.

I do wish, however, that the partnering of the champions would leave out the sex. I would not recommend these books for teens because of the sex. It is unnecessary for the broader book and story and feels forced and unnatural.

Definitely read these books if you are looking for a good fantasy read.

The Compass Key review

http://www.amazon.com/Compass-Key-Legends-Windemere-Book-ebook/dp/B00MIB4KQE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409193769&sr=8-1&keywords=Compass+key
This is the 5th book in the Legends of Windemere series. And I think one of my favorites.

Luke, Nyx, Fizzle and others all return for another grand adventure. I felt like I got to know the characters better through the events in this book. There was no lack of excitement. Yallowitz is a master of the epic battle scenes. His descriptions make me feel as if I was in the ice chamber or the swamp with the champions. I especially liked the expanded role for my favorite – Fizzle.

If you haven’t read this series yet, I would encourage you to get started. They are a delight. Definitely a five star book.

The Hopeteller by Charles Yallowitz Review

http://www.amazon.com/The-Hopeteller-Charles-E-Yallowitz-ebook/dp/B00KOUVF8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401665180&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Hopeteller
This was more of a collection of stories rather than a novella. But the stories were pulled together via the fables. There was a good mix of the fables and the happenings of the day of the Hopeteller. The fables had a message to them and made me feel good.

This wasn’t the normal fantasy genre for this author, but a good collection nevertheless. Quick read that I’m sure I will read again. I recommend you take a short amount of time and read this. I gave this four out of five stars.

“Something I find unique about this fantasy novel that I don’t often find in others, is that the hero, Luke Callindor is rather of the unlucky variety. He does not get everything he asks for, he stumbles, falls, gets knocked down (literally)and taught lessons as he goes. This is helping him to grow into the hero that was promised in the first book.” – Ionia Martin
