aobibliospotlight™: Clifton Chase and the Arrow of Light by Jaimie Engle
i am very excited to share with you all a new middle grade, historical fantasy novel by Jaimie Engle that will be released on September 1, 2013!
book description:
Clifton Chase finds a strange arrow that transports him to Medieval England in the year 1485. Thrust into adventure, he must evade the king's army, rescue the two princes from their uncle, King Richard III, who has locked them in a heavily guarded tower, escape the fierce fires of a Crestback Dragon, outsmart the Mer King, and get the girl, all the while protecting the Arrow of Light. But, his journey isn’t over. Clifton needs to discover the arrow’s purpose for choosing him. And when he does, he must decide if he is willing to risk his life for the lives of others.
excerpt:
"You must take it," Edward said, as he shoved the glowing shaft toward Clifton's chest. "If my uncle gets this arrow in his hands, the entire kingdom will be in danger. It will remain safe with you, in your world."
"But, I'm just an ordinary boy," Clifton said. "This isn't my problem."
Edward stepped closer, his face no longer resembling a boy of Clifton's age, but for the first time he looked like a king. "You are the one, Clifton. The arrow has chosen you."
