Description

TWO WORLDS. TWO SPIRITS. ONE POWER.

At the end of an age, a Bearer wielded the Key of Life and ended Dragon's Rule. Such powers and heroes, long dead or lost, must again be raised and found...

Algarth Willowbrow is about to gamble everything. His once-powerful Order is in ruins, and he faces an unwinnable battle to save his life and his people. In a last, desperate attempt, he lures his arch nemesis deep within his keep, hoping to utilize him and reclaim a long-hidden magic, powerful enough to save the world – or destroy it.

Bartholomew Waxman, former derivatives broker extraordinaire has gambled everything – and lost. Bankrupt, unemployed and divorced, his only hope for salvation is to try and rebuild his self-inflicted shattered life. But at his first job interview, he is grabbed by a spell and thrust into the netherworld of Between. There, he is groomed to wield a power so vast that it will decide a world’s fate.

The land’s only hope is the reluctant and unprepared Bartholomew, the wizard Algarth whose powers are gravely in doubt – and the Key of Life, with its true power hidden from all.

Delve into the beginnings of a vast fantasy epic that embraces a man, a wizard and a world seeking redemption.

I really enjoyed reading Mannethorn's Key. It had adventure, wonderful characters and a dangerous threat. It was a little hard to follow at first, but as the tale moves along it all starts to make sense. The different beings were just wonderful, and the quest was a serious one. Both characters Algarth and Bartholomew had a purpose, and it took a while for it to come into focus. The ending was a bit odd, but made sense since this is the start of a trilogy. If you are looking for a good fantasy book to read then you should check Mannethorn's Key out.

This was very hard to get into in the beginning. The POV of a bird didn't engage me at all and I was not inclined to read more from that point on. I wasn't sure where the story was going or what was happening. DNF.
