Review
Praise for Shadow Grail #1: Legacies:
“ Lackey and Edghill know how to spin a yarn, immediately pulling the reader into Spirits mourning psyche as well as the fast-paced action of the mystery, mixing marvelous elements of fairy tales and mythology into both the plot and references in the studentsMagical History class.…Theres also a touch of romance, and readers who appreciate everything from X -Men to Harry Potter will be begging for the sequel.” —Booklist
“The authors expertly balance a heady mixture of mystery and teenage romance in this well-paced first of the Shadow Grail series.”—RT Book Reviews
