I am reading right now a Christian fantasy book series. The books I am reading are called The Binding of the Blade and are written by L.B. Graham. There are some wonderful books out there in this category, like the Door Within and the Dragonkeeper which I wrote about in a previous post.
The story takes place in a land called Kirthanin (KEER-than-in) which in like a big island. (PDF) At the beginning of the First Age it was a peaceful land where Men, Dragons and Great Bear lived in harmony. The creator of all thing was Allfather who cave the government of day-to-day life to the Titans. He blessed them with incredible strength and power to help with this task. No Titan was greater than the other though all possessed there own strength and talent. But one of the greatest of them was Malek (MAH-leck) he started to become selfish and greedy until he lusted for Allfathers throne and to rule all of Kirthanin. So he planed a rebellion and killed all his brother Titans. He also tricked a man to help him conquer all of Kirthanin. He made the man weapons, which where never used to harm a living creature before. The Holy mountain Agia Muldonai (ah-GEE-uh MUL-doe-nye), where the Titans lived, was stained with blood and man had fallen into sin. Malek was wounded, but not destroyed, so he went into hiding. Allfather declared the Holy Mountain defiled and forbid any creature to set foot on the Moutain again, the Great Bear separated themselves from man as well as the dragons. During the Second Age Malek tried to take over again, but failed. Now the books begin during the Third Age with a man named Joraiem Andira (jore-EYE-em an-DEER-uh) who travels to the Summerland to learn to fight and be educated. But Malek is stirring and darkness is coming. Will Malek succeed with his third rebellion? Will Allfather forsake his people? Or will a prophet boy bring about a prophesy declared after the first rebellion? Find out!
I love this series it is very much like Lord of the Rings. The names, the storyline and creatures are all very similar. There are lots of twists and turns in the plot. I cried when I read the first book cuz one of the best characters died. I won’t say who, you have to find out for yourself. ;)
The characters are wonderfully done and I can relate to a lot of them. They all have fears, weaknesses, hopes and dreams that I think we all can relate to. There are five books.
I am working on book four right now. I can’t wait to see what happens, it’s very exciting! If you like LOTR then I think you will like these books. You won’t be able to put them down! lol
I can’t wait to see what all my fellow worms will write about. Take care everyone and have a Happy Easter!!!!
