At Last-The Quest's Conclusion
Finding the last segment of the Key to the King's Horde has become an obsession with Riyan and his friends. Traveling into forbidden lands is not a problem. Riyan, Chad, Bart, and Kevik have faced more dangers and unusual challenges in their short history together than many a man in a whole lifetime. Now the road they've traveled in their search turns toward the land of the Moran Tribes. Setting out in the dead of winter for the Moran lands might seem foolish, but there is an urgent need to get there. If the last segment of the key is to be found in the land of the dread Moran Tribes, then Riyan and company will find it. Regardless of the dangers, weather or inhabitants of the land, this brave little band of treasure hunters will no doubt prevail in their search. Yet, finding the key and returning home may prove to be the gravest danger in the whole quest. Others have learned of Riyan and his friends quest and they are quickly scouring the countryside around Quillim in hopes of finding the entrance to the King's Horde. Yes, the greatest peril and challenge of their lives may be when they return home. The final installment of the Broken Key Trilogy could be classified as a nail biter. Brian S. Pratt puts the finishing touches on his sure to be a classic trilogy of young friends and their quest for gold.
Product Description
Their quest to open the fabled King's Horde leads Riyan and his group across the border in the dead of winter and into the lands of The Moran Tribes. There, they hope to discover the whereabouts of the fourth and final segment of the key which they believe will open the Horde.
Even should they recover the key segment and return to their childhood home of Quillim, they will find no safety there. For it is no longer the safe refuge they believe it to be. Others have been drawn to the quiet village by rumors of the Horde, men who will stop at nothing to possess what lies within.
In the third installment of The Broken Key, Riyan, Chad, Bart, and Kevik face their greatest challenge. With stalwart friends at their side, they walk through fire and death as they draw ever closer to the culmination of their quest.

The Broken Key, reunited
27 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Brian Pratt is one of the best page turning fantasy writer that I have ever found. He suffers from a lack of good editing with several instances of term confusion, for instance, "affective" when it should read "effective". That said, the Broken Key is a rapid read, can't wait until the end, rollicking fantasy.
It's the story of four friends, Riyun, the shepherd, who literaly falls into a long lost treasure trove when the ground sort of fall out below him,Chad, the miller's son and a mysterious, recently arrived in their town, Bart, whose talents become invaluable.
After Riyun's original find, he collects his friends to investigate the revealed catacombs, the entrance still well hidden from other potential prying eyes. In their initial run through the caverns, they find many ancient coins, dead knights with their armor intact and what appears to be the mother lode which, however, needs a key to open and only a portion of the key is in this location.
The story is that of the friends search for the missing fragments, their maturing into very capable men and their challenges in evading their hunters who start looking for the boys when some of the discovered coins are fenced to finance the mission. Along the way, they add another friend, Kevik, an apprentice magic user who is working on his goal to become a master.
In my opinion, the Broken Key is not quite on a par with the Morcyth Saga but should be a must read for fantasy enthusiasts.

Very Enjoyable Read
19 Sep 2008
Much like Pratt's first series (Morsyth Saga) these books are very entertaining. I mostly enjoy the fact that the author does not go into long drawn out descriptions of locations and surroundings like other writers. Instead he focuses more on the story and the characters instead of trying to impress the reader with BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC adjectives. I will continue to purchase any books that he writes, hopefully alot.
