Aaron Bluecastle: Sword of the Elders - Tapa blanda

What is the object of an epic quest? For a fourteen-year-old prince, the goal is to prove his worth to his mother and father. What he learns from his adventures is that leadership means more than making strong decisions - it means listening to the advice of others. Nora, Dora, and Jasmine have suffered a greater loss than some stolen, princely sword. Their mother has vanished, and many of the villagers blame the girls for her disappearance. While Aaron embarks on an epic quest to prove his worth, Nora, Dora, and Jasmine must also prove theirs. A flood, an avalanche, and cruel slave traders present trials for all the adventurers to contend with. Yet trust in one another and pure hearts save the young travelers. With mighty knights beside them - mighty silly at times - the heroes learn the value of honor, valor, and patriotism.
