Praise for The Golden Band of Eddris

"A complicated but compelling fantasy. Morals and principles with implications for today’s world as well as the imaginary one are as important as the magical elements.... A compact and cogent tale." —School Library Journal

 

Synopsis

When the Knights of Ahln appear to Keld in a vision, his mother, Anna, knows she must send him and his sister, Elylden, on a long journey to save them from harm. But before they go, their mother gives them each a gift: to Keld, the coveted ring that belonged to his father, and to Elylden, the ability to see the future. Their adventure leads them to a world of sorcerers, magic caverns, lost lands, and finally the golden band—a symbol of the knowledge and power possessed by the evil witch Eddris. With the help of a warmhearted wizard, Keld and Elylden realize the strength of their gifts and discover the truth about their own mysterious past.

 

The Golden Band of Eddris was Ellen Kindt Mckenzie's last book. It was published in 1998 by Henry Holt and Company. Jacket illustration by Brian Fox.

 

The Golden Band of Eddris has a compelling plot line, but is harder to follow than Taash and the Jesters or Kashka. it is still a good book and should be read to understand the whole Nazor collection.
