From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a new fantasy series for teens and adults!
In THE SCEPTER OF FIRE—book 4 and the series finale—Oliver Blue is dispatched on an urgent mission to save The School for Seers. He must travel back in time, to Florence, 1592, to find the only artifact that can save them all.
Yet the secret is guarded by none other than Galileo himself.
As Oliver searches for one of the great scientists and inventors of all time, the man who invented the telescope and who discovered planets, he wonders: is Galileo a seer, too? What other secrets is he holding?
His brother Chris, more powerful than ever, remains determined to kill Oliver, while the fate of the school—and of the world—is at stake.
An inspiring fantasy, THE SCEPTER OF FIRE is book #4 in a riveting new series filled with magic, love, humor, heartbreak, tragedy, destiny, and a string of shocking surprises. It will make you fall in love with OLIVER BLUE, and keep you turning pages late into the night.
“The beginnings of something remarkable are there.”
--San Francisco Book Review (re A Quest of Heroes)
Customer Reviews
Good book
It was a lot like the other books in the series, coming to the point that Oliver is the strongest seer and fixes everything. The ideas are kind of repetitive, but it still kept me turning the pages!
Magical adventure through history and science
As with the other series by Morgan Rice, this one was also a success. It is packed full of adventure and it amazes how Rice, as an author, can seamlessly write from both the male and female perspective of a character with apparent ease. Plus the grasp of historical knowledge, especially in the realm of science, that is integrated in this story to make it a fiction series as well as teetering on historical fiction is awesome. This alone makes it a must-read for young teens and adults. It is entertaining as reading a Rick Riordan book on Percy Jackson. A very enjoyable book and series.
