Praise for Fortress of Mist Sigmund Brouwer s masterful storytelling and eye for detail turn Fortress of Mist into a grand and harrowing adventure for every reader. You ll feel the grime of castle dungeons, the sting of sword blades, and the elation of victory. It s a story full of surprising twists, shocking betrayals, and baffling mysteries. But at its heart, this book is about courage, wisdom, and hope and losing yourself in a fabulous story well told. Robert Liparulo, author of The 13th Tribe, The Judgment Stone, and the Dreamhouse Kings series Sigmund Brouwer spins an exciting story with Fortress of Mist, full of classic elements and clever twists. His style is reminiscent of the wonderful Lloyd Alexander, and I felt both comfortably familiar with the unfolding story and pleasantly surprised by new plot developments. As the young orphan hero struggling to establish himself as ruler in aworld of courtly intrigues and dangerous Druids, Thomas will appeal to boys and girls, young and old. Brouwer keeps us guessing, and I was particularly interested by his use of scientific magic. An engaging read that will leave readers eager to pick up the next volume. Anne Elisabeth Stengl, author of the award-winning Tales of Goldstone Wood series From the first line, readers will be hooked into this page-turning adventure. An engaging and compelling read.
