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.

What a wonderful book, I would have paid for it and have bought the second book in the series. I will read this author again and again. No graphic sexual scenes and the main characters are so much in love it just makes you feel good.

I got this book and I did not think it would be as good as it is, it is written in simplistic direct manner, but a really great book.
And it is very family friendly as well. It kept my interest and was nicely written.

Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down until I reached the end. It's a great story, and I just love the husband and wife! Their interactions seem so true to life, even in a newly discovered world of magic, that it's easy to get caught up in their story. I couldn't wait to buy book two as soon as I finished this one.

What a great romp! I read it in two nights. Dragons, dwarves, swords and sorcerers abound. After finding a portal to another land in their new home, our husband and wife team find themselves trying to get back home. In the process they encounter a vast array of mythological beings and learn they are the new protectors of the prince.

Fairly well written, it took a few chapters to get into it but once I did it was worth it. Needs a little work on the naturalness of the dialogue and descriptions. I ended up reading the whole thing in one go, so it certainly sucked me in.
Familiar themes but done in fresh way

It is a whopping 998 paged book! Since I did not read it I don't know what it is about or if it is good, but I freak at the thought of reading an enormous book like that

If you are looking for a good read that will keep you entertained, then you should give this book a try. It is not overly profound, but it is enjoyable and will keep you turning the pages even if it us a little predictable and cheesy. There is a little cussing, but there is no gratuitous sex or sensuality. The relationship between the husband and wife is endearing. I bought the second book. Why not? You like the characters and you want to know what happens to them. That's a pretty decent read in my opinion.

Throughout the first half of the book I was thinking that I would give this just one star. The writing is sophomoric at best, the conversation stilted. Decent writing for a high school student.
But I have to admit, the story really grew on me.
And he does give his world some unique properties - refreshing in a fantasy work.

LendMe™
Overview
Griffins, dragons, and BNPs (bugs of nightmarish proportions). Never in their wildest dreams could a husband and wife have guessed that a mysterious portal in their new mansion would send them both to a magical kingdom. Trying to find a way to return home, they learn that thanks to a local prophecy they have now been named protectors of the crown prince. Some days it didn't pay to get out of bed.
