In this debut of "The Last Tales of the Kimeiji" trilogy, the essence of a powerful magic force known as the Manaya is lost one night when a dark wizard tries to steal it to become its guardian-the Kimeiji-again. The incident triggers a chain of events that lead an entire world into war, and as a result, kingdoms fall, countries are divided, many die, and history is marked forever. Yet under the trees of the enchanted Cloud Forest, a young elf named Atrelis has no knowledge of that past. When a wounded dragon who falls from the sky entrusts Atrelis with a magic amulet, the past seems to return, for the amulet is the key of the Manaya, which long ago allowed the Kimeiji to control the powerful magic force. Now, the evil Kali troopers are after the amulet, and Atrelis must deliver it to Minol, the last keeper of the Manaya. Thus Atrelis is plunged into an unforgettable mission in which he encounters fantastical creatures and reaches extraordinary places where danger, excitement, deception, and magic lead him to the first step of the destiny he's not sure he wants to fulfill. Join Atrelis on his quest!

A Great Fantasy Adventure for Kids & Young Adults!
I really enjoyed this book. Its narrative doesn't have the complexity of stories like "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which keeps the story flowing smoothly and easy to read. I found it hard to put it down some times, especially after the middle of the book. There are very interesting surprises at the climax. And the best part is that there will be a sequel because as the introduction reveals: "It is the first of three tales that were once written in another world."
I recommend this book to young readers who love fantasy stories filled with great adventures, fantastical creatures, magic, and extraordinary places.

Ok if your bored
This is a good story with an interesting premise. The writing didn't live up to the story and several times I found myself trying to decide where or not I should finish the book. It is an interesting story and worth the read, but I would hope a second book would have a better editor.
