“If you thought that there was no reason left for
living after the end of THE SORCERER’S RING series, you were wrong. In RISE OF
THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant
series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor,
courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a
strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended
for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”

Roberto Mattos
“RISE
OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as
it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider
circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings
of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with
self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by
powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”

“[RISE
OF THE DRAGONS] is a plot-driven novel that’s easy to read in a weekend…A good
start to a promising series.”
--San
Francisco Book Review
“An
action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels,
along with fans of works such as THE INHERITANCE CYCLE by Christopher Paolini….
Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.”

The
Wanderer,
A Literary Journal
(regarding
Rise of the Dragons
)
“A
spirited fantasy that weaves elements of mystery and intrigue into its story
line.
A Quest of Heroes
is all about the making of courage and about
realizing a life purpose that leads to growth, maturity, and excellence….For
those seeking meaty fantasy adventures, the protagonists, devices, and action
provide a vigorous set of encounters that focus well on Thor's evolution from a
dreamy child to a young adult facing impossible odds for survival….Only the
beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”
--Midwest

hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all

“Rice’s entertaining epic fantasy [THE
SORCERER’S RING] includes classic traits of the genre—a strong setting, highly
inspired by ancient Scotland and its history, and a good sense of court
intrigue.”

Kirkus Reviews
“I loved how Morgan Rice built Thor’s character
and the world in which he lived. The landscape and the creatures that roamed it
were very well described…I enjoyed [the plot]. It was short and sweet….There
were just the right amount of minor characters, so I didn’t get confused. There
were adventures and harrowing moments, but the action depicted wasn’t overly
grotesque. The book would be perfect for a teen reader… The beginnings of
something remarkable are there…”
--San Francisco Book Review
“In this action-packed first book in the epic fantasy Sorcerer's Ring
series (which is currently 14 books strong), Rice introduces readers to
14-year-old Thorgrin "Thor" McLeod, whose dream is to join the Silver
Legion, the elite knights who serve the king…. Rice's writing is solid and the
premise intriguing.”
--Publishers Weekly
“[A
QUEST OF HEROES] is a quick and easy read. The ends of chapters make it so that
you have to read what happens next and you don’t want to put it down. There are
some typos in the book and some names are messed up, but this does not distract
from the overall story. The end of the book made me want to get the next book
immediately and that is what I did. All nine of the Sorcerer’s Ring series can
currently be purchased on the Kindle store and A Quest of Heroes is currently
free to get you started! If you are looking for a something quick and fun to
read while on vacation this book will do nicely.”
