The thrilling sequel to The Witch, the Sword, and the Cursed Knights, which takes readers even deeper into the legend of Camelot!
Best friends Ellie Bettlebump and Caedmon Tuggle are different as the day is long. Caedmon’s a human, from a non-magical realm known as Wisconsin. Ellie, on the other hand, is full of magic—illegal magic. What they have in common is far more important, however. After the adventure of a lifetime, they are both officially Knights of the Round Table…in training. To graduate to the next level at the Knights Academy, they must complete three quests proving their heroism. If they fail, they’ll have to achieve the dreaded Impossible Quest, and repeat the same year forever.
Unfortunately, their quests prove more than a little difficult. Ellie is exposed as a witch and her magic is locked away by the powerful DeJoie family. In an effort to free herself from their control, Ellie winds up embroiled in a plan that could ruin the Knights of the Round Table: steal the source of the knights' power, and a wicked sorcerer will restore her magic.
As fate would have it, one of Caedmon's quests leads him to protect the source of the knights' power. If Caedmon wants to graduate—not to mention save the realms from certain disaster—he'll have to betray his best friend, forcing him to choose what truly matters most to him: knighthood or friendship.
As centuries of secrets collide and an ancient evil arises, Ellie and Caedmon must overcome this test of loyalty and friendship. If they don't, they will lose more than their battle against evil forces keeping them apart.
They will lose each other.

Title: Keeps you reading
Review: The content and characters of the book are intriguing and hold your interest but the author's style of writing has yet to reach maturity and she would have done better not to borrow such obvious narrative styles from others. That being said, I enjoyed reading the book.

Title: Magic meets mayhem for middle-grade readers in this fun and adventurous sequel of friendship.
Review: Magic meets mayhem for middle-grade readers in this fun and adventurous sequel of friendship.Having recovered the legendary sword Excalibur in the first book of the series, 13-year-old Caedmon and almost-13 Ellie return as knights in training, ready to set forth on their first quests to prove their worth. Venturing from the late summer calm of Wisconsin to a wedding in the woods, it doesnât doesnât take long for lurking danger to test their skills, their resolve, and their loyalties. Will Caedmonâs boldness help or harm his journey? Can Ellie maintain control of her growing but illegal magical powers? Even the mentorship of the legendary Merlin may not be enough when they need to act on their own.A few of my favorite thingsâ¦.Author Alexandria Rogersâ writerâs voice is fun. She knows her young protagonists inside and out and reveals their humor, their wishes, their embarrassments, and their accomplishments. Middle-grade readers should readily relate to them. The large cast of supporting characters includes favorites Merlin, Loren, Lancelot, Lorelei, and a host of others. Family figures arenât dismissed as sometimes happens in middle-grade adventure tales. Caedmonâs mother has her say and his fatherâs attentive and caring heart resonates with his own children and even Ellie.Croven is a villain with an appropriately creepy name and cause, creating the conflict and aided by less-apparent antagonists.The footnotes sprinkled throughout the chapters effectively supplement the prologue and epilogue by the rhyming Madame Mysteârieuse, framing the story and adding amusing details. Any King Arthur fan should appreciate the names and associations.The positive messages of discovering oneâs purpose and the importance of friendship and trust are obvious without being heavy-handed.The glossary and list of realms at the beginning of the book are exactly what many readers want. In the printed edition, it appears a map may be included. If so, it would be a welcome bonus.Things I might considerâ¦Some of the plot events are explained only after the fact, making them seem a bit convenient. Characters may fortuitously appear just at the right time to resolve a conflict.So many world-building details are introduced that it can be challenging to discern the important from the insignificant. This appears to add significantly to the word count of a book already lengthy by middle-grade standards, potentially limiting its readership.This second book in the series ends with a significant and exciting invitation to the next stage, indicating a third is in the works. Let the quests continue!I gratefully received an ARC of this book through NetGalley. Opinions are my own.
