This fantasy features three young people who have been thwarted in their dream of joining the elite fighter monks who protect the All and Only (the one god). Not to be discouraged, they devise a plan to help them fulfill each of their different personal missions. Narrator Michael Page is steady and sure. His characters are vivid, and his storytelling skill keeps the explication moving along and animates the dialogue. He reflects the emotions of his young characters as the suspense builds and they face obstacles and forge strong ties that lay the foundation for events to come. Shifts in focus and mood are augmented by background music and sounds that are subtle and generally effective. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
