The Blue Flame (Daradawn Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

Kelsey Cafferty has been dead for seven years, or so her sister Regan believes, until a stranger with a blue flame upon his cheek, identical to the one on her shoulder, shows up on her doorstep. The man, Peter Canterville, tells Regan that he is a mage from Daradawn, chosen by the Power at birth and marked with the blue flame, as is she. Kelsey isn't dead, the man claims, she has become a warrior and fights for Queen Tessa, against the dark mage, Dirkk, a battle they are losing. Regan's power will make the difference. She must come with him through the rift, into Daradawn, to save his world and her sister, Kelsey. And they only have seven days to do so. For after seven days, the rift between the two worlds closes and will remain closed for another seven years.

    "The Blue Flame" is an excellent story, one that holds the reader's interest right up to the last page. The well-developed characters are true-to-life, and the descriptions of Daradawn and life there are so realistic that you wonder if the author might not have paid a visit to that world. I recommend this book highly and am awaiting with great anticipation another tale that will take me back to Daradawn.
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2001
    I enjoyed The Blue Flame very much. It is the first fantasy novel I have read. Along with the characters we learn of magic, and how it must be controlled. I highly recommend the book. It is fast paced and once you start reading you do not want to put it down. The Blue Flame would make an outstanding movie.
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2001
    Good writing. I was there; passing between worlds with anticipation. The storyline and characters were clear and believable. I think this would make a great movie for all ages.
    I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to the sequel I hear is coming.
