The Well Between the Worlds

Lyonesse #1 / 2
by Sam Llewellyn
The Well Between the Worlds (Lyonesse #1) by Sam Llewellyn
Unrated

The land of Lyonesse is sinking, and the sea batters its walls; it has become a place of poison and danger, and its people live in an uneasy truce with the monsters that inhabit its bottomless Wells.

Idris Limpet is an ordinary boy, until the day he is rescued from a terrible death and finds himself thrown into an astonishing new adventure. Can it be that it is his destiny to save Lyonesse? As Idris begins to discover his true self, he learns he must rely on his wits, his courage, and his friends in the face of an overwhelming darkness that threatens to swallow up everything he loves.

This epic tale leads readers on an extraordinary journey into a world of magic and monsters – a journey fraught with peril at every turn. Can one boy and girl stand in the way of a colossal evil with its roots sunk deep in ages of wickedness?

Praise for Lyonesse, Book I: THE WELL BETWEEN THE WORLDS:

"Quietly superb prose and a memorable, unassuming hero make this Arthurian-flavored world fresh and beautiful even when it's bitterly ugly... [A] rich and unpretentious gem." – Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"[R]eaders will be sucked into Idris' adventure, eager to find out the extent of his destiny and the fate of his beleaguered land." – Booklist

"A good recommendation for young Arthurians or for avid fantasy fans." – Instructor
