Short description
Compared to living in the slums, life as a castle slave seems pretty cushy, as long as you don't mind the terrifying weapon master, the sneaky desert diplomats, and the insane elderly mage with his ghostly steed. Even those, however, pale in comparison to what lurks in the forgotten dungeons and abandoned secret passageways between the castle walls.Extended description
Compared to living in the slums, life as a castle slave might seem pretty cushy, even if Bo has to learn to live with the terrifying weapon master, Alexander, serve the sneaky desert diplomats with their secret ulterior motives, and dodge the insane elderly castle mage with his ghostly steed. What lurks in the forgotten dungeons and abandoned secret passageways between the castle walls, however, is another matter entirely. With slaves going missing from their beds, Bo must discover his unique ability that sets him apart from the world of magic around him, and make unlikely alliances to save himself, and his new found friends from the demon in the dark.Tags

Fantastic book - I nearly carried on reading instead of going to bed. I felt I could see and smell the locations, and all the main characters were well-developed (and matched the author's illustrations). The big battle near the end is convincingly blow by blow (and full of gore). The plot was full of excitement and originality. I hope that we are going to see a lot more from the writer.

Excellent reading. Imaginative, and detailed in its setting, the action soon becomes fast-paced and continues that way. The kingdom, its characters and the plot are absorbing. I nearly missed my station on the train whilst reading the pdf on my iPod.

i have not 100% finished reading this book but it is a great light read, as a college student i usualy don't make time for extra books and it is STILL keeping my attention, so far the emotion in the book just feels like it is coming out of the pages.

This seemed to start off nicely, but gets rather repetitive after a while. The story isn't always reasonable in my opinion, and there are some annoying punctuation errors.
I've stopped reading at page 177, not sure if i want to continue.
