The Demon Queen Attacks! To his own surprise, young Kellen, once the disappointing son of the great Mage who leads the City?s Mage Council, has become a powerful Knight-Mage. Valued for his bravery and his skills as both wizard and warrior, Kellen joins the Elves? war councils. Yet he cannot convince the City of his birth that it is in terrible danger. Kellen?s sister Idalia, a Wild Mage with great healing ability, has pledged her heart to Jermayan, a proud Elven warrior. Someday Idalia will pay a tragic Price for a world-saving work of Wild Magic, but until then, she will claim any joy life can offer her.
Jermayan, who has learned much fighting at Kellen?s side and loving the human Idalia, finds that everything changes when he Bonds with a dragon while rescuing the Elf Prince and becomes the first Elven Mage in a thousand years.
Furious at her enemies? success with the dragon, the Demon Queen attacks in force. Light struggles against Dark, like flickering candle flames buried deep in the shadow of Obsidian Mountain.

To Light a Candle The obsidian trilogy book two chronicles dragon books fantasy

A GREAT BOOK!! My favorite fantasy book. My favorite fantasy trilogy. My favorite fantasy author. My favorite fantasy plot and my favorite fantasy characters. That not enough to convince you? The characters are really deep and the book as a whole flows and keeps you reading constantly. I couldn't put it down. It's suitable for all ages, which is hard to find in fantasy. I love it! A great read!

To Light a Candle

It was a great extention of the first book, and I had it for awhile. Easy to get into, nice flow. Great for pre-teens, make them look up the words they don't know.

Bogs Down Quite a Bit

This book, though slow, is still slightly better than the rushed and cramped third book. The authors seem to spend a lot of time on inconsequential events and then rush past those that are important (as one reads on). The repetitive story arc where the army seeks the shadowed elves becomes mundane and several times I almost stopped reading.

It also amazes me how the authors seemingly fit years of events into a trilogy spanning little more than one year. An enjoyable series but not quite up to the standard of Brooks, Eddings, or Weis & Hickman.
