Lady Carliss & The Waters of Moorue by Chuck Black

Summary:

Determined, smart and a master of both the sword and the bow, Lady Carliss has proven herself as a veteran Knight of the Prince. Returning from a mission of aid, Carliss is plunged into adventure once again as she searches for the marauders responsible for kidnapping a friends’ family. Along the way she is reunited with Sir Dalton and discovers that the struggle in her heart is far from over. When Dalton falls to the vicious attack of a mysterious, poisonous creature, Carliss finds herself in a race against time. As Dalton clings perilously to life, she must find the antidote in the distant and strange city of Moorue.

While there, Carliss uncovers the master plot of a powerful Shadow Warrior that will soon overtake the entire Kingdom. Her faith in the Prince and her courage as a knight are tested as she faces evil Shadow Warriors and a swamp full of dreadful creatures. The lives of many, including Dalton’s, depend on Carliss. But she cannot save them all, for time is running out.  She faces an impossible choice: save Dalton, or let him die so that others may live.

My Review:

This book I really enjoyed. It’s very much an allegory like Narnia but put in the age of castles, kings and knights. It is book 4 of the Knights of Arrethtrae. Even though it is part of a series you can easily read each book on their own without having to have read the previous books.

This book is written more for the tween and teen group. The chapters are a bit shorter and easier to read through. This book took me two days to get through so it was a very quick read. However, the story was really good. I kind of hated to see it end. When I was done I gave the book to my 10 yr old daughter to read as well and she was interested in it because the main character is a female knight. I found it a lot of fun and am looking into finding the others in the series.
