Secret of the Spirit Keeper
1 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Secret of the Sprit Keeper by Matt Forbeck is the first book in the series Knights of the Silver Dragon. It is a story about a young thief named Moyra, a wizard's apprentice named Kellach, and his 12 year old brother Driskoll. These three kids travel all over Cruston, Broken Town, and The Dungeons of Doom looking for the Spirit Keeper which someone has used to steel Zedric's soul. They work together to fight evil, try to save their friend and become Knights of the Silver Dragon. But can they get back to save their friend in time?
I loved this book. It is filled with suspense, action, comedy and a few twists. It is one of my favorite books. It is really fun to read about all of the characters and their fun personalities! I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series Riddle in the Stone written by Ree Soebee.

This is the first in a series fantasy novels for young readers ages 8-12. Separate authors write the books, and it will be interesting to see how the characters vary.
The first tale, Secret of the Spiritkeeper, is set in the village of Curston. Fourteen-year-old
Kellach is studying under the great wizard Zendric. He's not a bad apprentice, but lacks
confidence and the attention span needed. Also, Kellach is still so new to the world of wizardy
that he only knows a few baby spells, nothing that could get him into any trouble. Well, not
much anyway.
Kellach and his 12-year-old brother Driskoll are on their way home when they meet their good
friend Moyra. A band of half-orc is chasing Moyra. Kellach performs a little magic and
distracts the lead half-orc, Kruncher. Luckily for all three of them, they are out past curfew (a
time when not a soul travel the Curston street if they want to see daylight) and wind up in front
of Curston's magistrate, Lexos, who lets them off with a warning.
On the way to school the next morning, Kellach and Driskoll discover the body of the great
wizard Zendric. His body is there, but the Kellach notices that the globe he has been warned
against has disappeared. And inside the globe is Zendric's spirit. Kellach knows that if he, they,
can find the globe in time that they can return Zendric's soul and thereby restore Curston's most-
respected wizard.
What follows is the adventure the threesome has as they begin their search. Like their heroes, the
Knights of the Silver Dragon (an order long decimated during the Sundering of the Seal) the
little band they overcome many obstacles, acting brave when they much rather be at home
studying in front of the fire. Along the way they travel outside the city into the ruins of the old
city that meet with fortune hunters, enter the old city and climb into the Dungeons of Doom
where they meet such creatures as an owlbear, goblins and the goblin-king and zombies.
It's a rip-roaring tale that is sure to delight anyone who reads it. Secret of the Spiritkeeper
reminded me a little of Harry Potter. And although I'm probably the only person on the planet
who doesn't like Harry, I did get a kick out of Kellach, Driskoll, and Moyra. They were more
human and seemed more age appropriate.
Secret of the Spiritkeeper is a self-contained novel that doesn't require a commitment to the other
three novels in the series to enjoy this one. In fact, that's probably the biggest drawback of this
book. There's no need to read further. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see if the little
band can reconstruct a real Knight of the Silver Dragon origination.
