The Chimes of Yawrana

by Scot R. Stone

A significant prophecy is about to unfold in the fertile kingdom of Yawrana with the arrival of a small group of voyagers aboard the gallant flying ship The Star Gazer. The Elders, visionaries, of Yawrana, warn of downfall and destruction as the two civilizations meet. Oreus Blake, one of eight members aboard the ship, discovers he is the key to the prophecy's outcome. Within days of their arrival, a deadly illness befalls several members of the Yawranan Royal Court, and all parties present fall under suspicion, including the voyagers themselves. The only known cure lies within the limitless healing powers of an ancient flower referred to as the snowtear. Having no other choice, Oreus must gain the trust of the Yawranans as they embark on a quest to retrieve the protected snowtears through many inherent dangers, including a mythic race of warriors known as the Lazuls.

It took me a long time to finish this book... I liked it but it really dragged on in parts. It seemed like alot of different story lines going on at the same time and then all coming together, it was just too much for me in parts. It may have just been "too fantasy" for me. (I didn't love his writing style.) But the story was interesting and I liked some parts quite a bit.

I loved this book. The story about a boy with a prophecy, kindof reminded me of eragon. But was different also.

The first book in one of my favorite series, written by an author from my hometown. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys fantasy books.
