by Andrea Buginsky

As a young hunter seeks a trainer, The Chosen prepare for an unforgettable adventure.

With Nature and Phantasma back in order, Halli and Silvor have settled into their new life in Drumple. During a visit from Striker, Kaidyla and Lumina, a request from an old friend of Halli’s family sparks a new challenge when she asks Striker if he’ll train their young son, Dylan. Working with Dylan gives Striker a chance to be a mentor once again, as he had been in his past.

This brings The Chosen to an area of Phantasma Halli has never seen before. What new dangers might be lurking in the forest? Will Halli have a reason to use her powers?

But Halli and Silvor are facing a new journey of their own, one that will change their lives forever. What is in store for The Chosen’s future? Will this latest escapade prepare them for what is yet to come?

Reviews

[Sheila · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pleasantly child-like characters people these tales of elves, dwarfs, and other creatures in Phantasma. It’s a place of instant friendships, deep loyalties, and board-game-style national complexities. Family growth combines with a sense of computer-game adventure in this coming-of-age tale where a young dwarf learns the nature of the hunt, thanking his prey for its gift of life and food. Halli’s honeymoon is over and real life just might be about to begin, but a girl needs a mother’s advice once in a while. Meanwhile a surprise visitor may be due to arrive.

The Chosen series combines hunting, respect for life and nature, a touch of magic, and smoothly simplified relationships in fun novellas of sweet characters and promised hope. This third volume continues the story pleasingly, adding new characters and complications in a short complete story while still promising more to come.
