Product Description

Product Description

Dragons, griffins, and BNPs (Bugs of Nightmarish Proportions). Never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined what was in store for them!

After learning they had inherited an enormous mansion and a huge tract of land from a reclusive set of relatives, Steve and Sarah Miller decide to take a few days off to investigate their new-found fortune in the quiet northern Idaho resort town of Coeur d’Alene.

While taking inventory of the vast manor, they discover a unique set of doors on the top floor of their new home. Mistaking them for an ornate decoration, the doors are accidentally activated. Staring at the impossible sight of a lush forest through the open doors, they are presented with a tantalizing decision: check out the impossible or check in to a funny farm. Curiosity getting the better of them, they step through, and both are instantly sent on a one-way journey to a land straight out of the fairy tales!

Realizing they were now stranded on a world populated with creatures that should only exist in one’s imagination, they enlist the aid of the local king and queen. Their troubles continue to escalate, however, as it is revealed their arrival had long been foretold by an ancient local prophecy which bestows upon them the status of Royal Bodyguards to the young crown prince.

Stuck on a foreign world where mythical creatures abound, trying to avoid being attacked by griffins, and hoping to impress a living, breathing dragon, the newly appointed babysitters must find a way to return home soon before harm could befall the young prince.

Some days it didn't pay to get out of bed.

After inheriting a wonderful, strange house, Steve and Sarah Miller find a portal that leads them to a most peculiar land -- a land of griffins, dragons, dwarves, and some really nasty, giant bugs. They soon learn that their arrival has been prophesied and they are tasked with a mighty mission. To fulfill their mission, though, they must attain a key to take them back through the portal and home to their own world.

Jeffrey Poole has written a witty, fun fantasy. The dialogue is free and easy with a natural flow. His lead characters are charming, taking the reader along with them on a journey that is exciting, exhilarating, and completely enchanting. Can't wait for Book II!

Welcome to Lentari 15 Mar 2011
By Scott
Format:Kindle Edition
The Bakkian Chronicles follow Steve and his wife Sarah as they find out that Steve's grandparents died and they inherit everything. They take a trip to their new house and find some strange things. There is a journal filled withed references to people and places they have never heard of, a safe filled strange items and an even stranger key. That key opens a portal to Lentari that they enter without understanding what they are really doing.

Their journey begins as a simple quest to find out how to get home. They learn that everyone in Lentari has a magical power called jhorun. They are then kidnapped to be sold as slaves and must discover their own hidden powers to escape. Next stop is the palace where they meet the kind and queen and find out that they are prophesied protectors of the prince. That is the point where their adventure truly begins...

This is an extremely well written story with great dialogue that had me engaged with the character and even laughing a few times. The pace of the story moves very well with lots of action, but does not sacrifice character development. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good fantasy read at a totally reasonable price. I am looking forward to the second in the series a great deal.

Positive Outlook 23 Dec 2011
By Tony
Format:Kindle Edition
I won't describe the plot line as that has already been done. If you are looking for an amusing and enjoyable story with the characters overcoming the obstacles placed on front of them then this is the book for you. I empathised with the characters and wanted them to succeed. I am glad that I read this book and felt happy by the end of it, which I believe is an important element for any book.
