Summary: The conclusion of Nell's saga
Review: The evil Lord Graieconn and his allegiances of twisted Folk who call him their commander are growing stronger, while the current Imperial Wizard, the keeper of the Scepter of Light, continues to grow weaker. All of Eldearth is worried that their peaceful days are over. Eleven-year-old Princess Arnelle "Nell" who has overcome an extremely difficult task to be the next Imperial Wizard, must use all her intelligence and wit to stop the forces of the Dark Lord from extinguishing the Scepter of Light, which has always protected Eldearth from Graieconn. However soon Nell comes to the realization that she cannot do it alone. She must have the help of her twin brother Owen, her competitor for the title of Imperial Wizard. Can Nell and Owen work together to stop the dark forces? Will the two be strong enough?

This was a good conclustion to the Keeper's Trilogy. This wasn't my favorite fantasy trilogy but did have a very headstrong heroine that will connect with many young girls. Though this series is reminiscient of other books I have read, it does have its own uniqueness in some areas. Its a good book to read for leisure. A definite recommendation.

Summary: Exciting conclusion to the Keepers trilogy.
Review: The Imperial Wizard, Guardian of the Scepter, is dying, and all the good people of Eldearth are worried. If the Imperial Wizard dies without choosing a successor, Graieconn, the Lord of Darkness, will take over Eldearth and rule over it with an iron fist. Eleven-year-old Nell is determined to be the next Imperial Wizard, but her long-lost twin brother, Owen, is favored because he is a boy. As Nell and Owen compete for title of Imperial Wizard, time is running out for Eldearth. Will Nell be strong enough to fight the forces of evil? And what if neither she nor Owen is the promised one, destined to be Imperial Wizard?

Readers who enjoyed the first two books in the Keepers trilogy won't want to miss the conclusion to Nell's adventures. I enjoyed this trilogy a lot, and I highly recommend it to young readers who enjoy fantasy adventures with strong girl characters.
