BLURB:

The thrilling conclusion to the Knights of Av’lor trilogy!

Trapped on Av’lor and left for dead by her betrayer, Kathryn’s unrelenting determination is the only thing that might overcome the invading Zahkrinon army.

With the portal destroyed and the Zahkrinon army fast approaching, Kathryn and Lanclor have no choice but to focus on the survival of the Knighthood before they can consider rescuing Rachel. Unexpected events threaten their victory and the combined Av’lorian and Earth forces struggle to survive as their numbers dwindle.

They find the Zahkrinon are more dangerous than they had ever imagined.

Excerpt:

The tides of the battle turned for the worst when the dark elves used their own physical Shields to brush aside the brownwings’ assault and brought their hidden weapons to bear. A bow and arrow was such a simple weapon and normally wouldn’t penetrate Kate’s physical Shield, but the dark elves had worked some type of magic into the arrows with a devastating effect.

Similar to the daggers used in the assault at the castle, the arrows drove through the knights’ armor like a hot knife through butter. Knights fell like mown wheat around her and Hal was the only thing that kept the arrows from Kathryn. Hal had jumped in front of her just as the dark elves had fired. He staggered backward and she wrapped her arms around him from behind. His weight was too much for her to bear and she toppled backward with him on top of her.

Kate could barely breathe under Hal’s impressive mass and tried without success to move his weight to the side. Her wings ached in protest and she tried to go through her mental list of spells to come up with a solution. She could still see the battle going on and the dark elves turned their attention back to the Royal Guard. The elves raised their bows and prepared to fire.

REVIEW: "Fire" takes off where "Gate" left off, and continues the story begun in "Hope". In Book I, Kate is thrown into another world where magic exists, where daemons - dark elves called Zahkrinon - are decimating the human population. The humans have developed a winged army, and Kate becomes one of the knights fighting to protect the humans. She learns magic - and falls in love with Lanclor; another winged knight. There is a gate between Earth and the planet, but in Book II it is destroyed. "Fire", book III, is just as action-packed and amazing as the first two books, and it's best to read the first two books before this one. 

In Book III, the gateway between Earth and Av'lor has been destroyed, and Kate's daughter, Rachel, is separated once more from her mother. Kate has to somehow rescue her daughter, but before she can do that, she has to find a way for the knights of Av'lor to defeat their enemies, the dark elves. Fast paced and full of emotion and action, this book (and series!) is highly recommended!
