Still staggering under Paragor's relentless attacks, Alleble's remaining allies flee from the four corners of The Realm to safety within the Kingdom's walls. But there is little time for Alleble to mourn before Paragor, the Wyrm Lord, and the deadly Seven Sleepers unite against the followers of King Eliam. As Alleble begins to lose hope, Paragor unleashes The Final Storm. Will anyone survive to see the dawn?

How does he do it? Not only were the first two books instant favorites, but the third one became my favorite in the series! More deep storylines, more great characters, more excitement, more suspense, etc. I'm officially hooked on these, and now I get an adrenaline rush when I start a new book by Bryan Davis.

Amazing Story 5 out of 5 stars.

A story of love, sacrifice, faith and forgiveness that will keep you reading all night long. An adventure that takes you through places you never thought you could go. This is a must read book an can not be turned down. Fight through another world of devils and discover the truth of Excalibur.

Another epic from Bryan Davis 5 out of 5 stars.

The amazing series continues with Circles of Seven!! This is my favorite book in the Dragons in our Midst series. It's action packed as the characters journey through the seven circles.

What's up with the Ending? 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The book starts off great, and gets into the action right away. Billy is in a mansion in England and will be going to see the circle of knights, but is attacked in the middle of the night. There's a small battle which injures the Professor, so Billy is the one to drive them to a mountain to meet up with fellow dragons Clefspeare and Hartanna who are joined by Bonnie. Once the group of three are close to land, Hartanna stays behind to survey the coast while Clefspeare and Bonnie fly ahead to join Billy and Prof. As the two finally land, Clefspeare has been taken captive by a memeber of an evil sorcoress' army. The next day, Billy, Bonnie, and the Professor proceed as scheduled to Sir Patrick's house. There, they are faced with an option of entering a different world and proceeding through seven circles to free captives. Each decide to enter, but neither realize just how challenging it will going be. Putting their own lives at risk, the duo journey through the seven different worlds and find out quickly that it will be much harder than anything they have endured before.
This book was very good, mixed with instant action that was spread throughout the entire story and Bryan's drawing you deep into the book. I would definately recommend this book to everyone to read, but the last two chapters were a disappointment for me. I didn't think that they were well explained and were extremely confusing.

Editorial Review:

Filled with action,danger, and suspense this book is sure to keep readers in their seats, following Billy and Bonnie to the exciting conclusion. This is the third saga in a four book series.

Editorial Review:

A New Quest Begins

A dragonkeeper of Paladin, Kale is summoned from the Hall to The Bogs by the Wizard Fenworth to serve as his apprentice and tend his newly hatched meech dragon, Regidor. But Kale isn’t going alone. The Hall is sending a student to monitor her performance and report back to the scholars. Worst of all, it’s Bardon–an older boy Kale finds irritating, but who at least can hold his own in a sword fight.

New Friendships Are Forged

Meanwhile, the Wizard Risto has seized another meech dragon, bringing him dangerously close to gaining the power he seeks. So with only a motley band of companions, Kale sets out on a desperate quest to rescue the second meech, to free those dragons already enslaved, and to thwart Risto’s devious plans. It’s up to Kale to lead the search and to embrace the role that’s rightfully hers. But will her efforts be enough to save the land of Amara from the dark future that awaits at Risto’s hands?

Adults and kids alike will enjoy this book. Good vs. evil has always been the battle in this world and so it is here also. Billy's world is suddenly swept away by a father he thought he knew. Bonnie longs for someone to care about her. Raising Dragons is the first in the Dragons in Our Midst series. Do as I have and read them all.

Raising Dragons 5 out of 5 stars.

After discovering that he can breathe fire, Billy Banister finds himself in a confusing web of legend and technology, trying desperately, with the help of a fellow half-dragon (this one with wings hidden beneath her backpack), to stay away from a dragon-slayer and his minions. Funny, interesting and action-packed to the extreme, Bryan Davis's first release does not disappoint!

Editorial Review:

Modern fantasy novel that inspires young people to pursue faith, courage, and love, to dig deep within to find their God-given strengths no matter how difficult the circumstances.

When she arrives in Alleble, Antoinette finds the kingdom is in turmoil. Alleble's allies are inexplicably beginning to turn away, renouncing former ties with King Eliam. And there are rumors that the dark Prince of Paragory is seeking an ancient evil to crush Alleble once and for all.

Fantastic Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful book for readers of all ages. Tears of a Dragon is the fourth book in the Dragons in Our Midst series. It's a great conclusion to the series. It is very well written and thought out, the plot is deliciously complex, and the characters are ones that you come to love. It's combination of fantasy, Arthurian legend, and the Bible make it a unique and fascinating tale! I recommend this book for all ages.

Series finale is as good as the rest 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

After three previous books, you might be thinking that Bryan Davis is about done. Hardly. The first three were only warm-up for Tears of a Dragon. It starts a bit slowly, but once you get going, look out! The pace picks up until it exceeds the speed at which the rest of the series moves.

The ending is satisfactory, while still leaving the story open for four more books, starting with Eye of the Oracle (Oracles of Fire). Wonderful!

Editorial Review:

Tears of a Dragon is the fourth installment in the Dragons in our Midst series. This contemporary fantasy gives young readers all the adventure and excitement they love while opening their eyes to great themes such as faith, courage, wisdom, and redemption. Compared to The Chronicles of Narnia for its spiritual power and The Lord of the Rings for its depth of scope, this series has the makings of a classic.

Editorial Review:

Trapped in an evil spell… can the knights of Paladin be rescued?

Before vowing his allegiance to Wulder as a knight, Bardon heads to the mountains for solitude. His life is suddenly complicated by a woman and her granddaughter, N’Rae, on a mission to rescue the woman’s son trapped in a chamber of sleep. Bardon learns that more of Paladin’s knights are imprisoned–and suspects one of them is Dragon Keeper Kale’s missing father.

The secret is in their hands–and hearts.

The band travels north, uncertain of their destination and encountering numerous perils. When they unlock the chamber, they discover a dozen knights–who cannot be awakened. The journal holding the secret to rousing them is in an unknown language. How can they find the help they need, and overcome even graver obstacles, to rescue the knights?
Return to the land of dragons and magic you discovered in Dragonspell and DragonQuest, in this finely crafted and memorable work of fantasy fiction with a core of eternal truth.

With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces Paragory, the eternal enemy. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the unseen hand of the one true King? The answer comes from The Door Within.

Wonderful, appropriate, practical resource 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

For those of us who have found ourselves separated from our spouse it is a terrible, frustrating, depressing and confusing time. We're married -- but we're not. We're single -- but we're married. We have a spouse -- but not a husband/wife. We can't be a family -- but we can't be a single. And a separation can only go in one of two ways -- reconciliation or divorce. Chapman's book is a terrificly easy and incredibly appropriate read. Having surely counseled dozens of separated couples, he touches on every aspect involved, for both parties, regardless of the offense or the offender, emotions or intentions. For the Christian, it offers great insight in to what God expects of us and how we need to be conducting our lives in this difficult time. I read it, loved it, and am trying to apply the principles he relates as best as I can. I gave it to my wife who I hope will find it as useful and practical as I did. Time will tell. But if it doesn't work, it won't be because I didn't do everything I could do, and this book has helped point me in the right direction. If you are separated and have even the slimmest hope for reconciliation -- BUY THIS BOOK! You won't regret it.

Editorial Review:

Even when love is lost and hope is gone, God's Word still has the power to heal. Hope for the Separated explains why the biblical ideal for a separated couple is reconciliation. It reveals how to draw on the power of God's Word to heal broken relationships.
