Rise of the Wyrm Lord

The second book in the series starts a little while after Aidan Thomas has returned from his adventure. He meets Antoinette Reed at school, a classmate who also has knowledge of The Realm. This time, the plot turns on her adventures as she travels from Alleble to Yewland to convince the queen to align herself with King Eliam and discover whether Paragor has awakened the Wyrm Lord as a weapon against Alleble. However, Antoinette's task is somewhat muddled by Aidan's entreaty for her to find his friend's Glimpse and convince him to turn away from Paragor. I like this one ALOT the wrym lord was really cool, in an evil sort of way. Yet Good will triumph with the dawn.

Action and Suspense!

Antoinette Reed has always been smart. She's in honors everything at school, and she's been a follower of King Eliam since she was seven. When she sees the artwork of new kid at school, Aidan Thomas, she realizes that he, also, knows about The Realm. They become friends, and when they recognize that she has been called to The Realm, Aidan asks her to look for the glimpse of his friend, Robby, who he fears is in league with Paragor.
When she enters The Realm, Antoinette plunges into adventures like she's only dreamed of. Though she is named Twelfth Knight on a crucial, diplomatic mission to Yewland, she loses sight of the objective and deviates from her assignment, raising all the stakes. She goes after Kearn, Robby's glimpse, attempting to turn him away from his glittering path of destruction and to King Eliam.
When Paragor releases the capstone of his plan, The Realm is plunged into a fierce battle for survival.

In this, his second book, Mr. Batson's writing style has matured and the entire flow of the writing is of a higher caliber than its prequel. Throughout the whole book, the action and suspense only intensifies. Be forewarned - the book ends at a monstrous cliffhanger. Be sure to have the sequel, The Final Storm, on hand when you finish!

Great book Great book! Can't wait to fead the next one!

Loved this book.

Good book

Although this is a good book; I couldn't bring myself to give it five stars. I found at parts I could leave the book quite readily. Still a good book, though.

(Sorta Spoiler alert for those who have not read book 1) On ear

(Sorta Spoiler alert for those who have not read book 1)

On earth, Aiden Thomas is having trouble getting back into his normal routine. He keeps having scary nightmares about the Betrayer, Paragor. His mom thinks he is crazy, how he talks about his adventures in the Realm. But when he discovers that he is not the only one who believes in the one true King, things get much more exciting!!

Antionette Reed is living a normal life; sports, school, except for one thing. She and her family follow King Eliam, the one true King. When she meets Aiden and figures out that she has been called to enter the Realm of Alleble, she realizes that following King Eliam is no small thing!!

Wayne Thomas Batson is a excellent storyteller, who weaves this amazing tale of valor, hope, and Good and Evil. If you are over the age of 9 and love action, adventure, and a good story I would recommend this book to you!

Next one? Awesome!

The best series continues with my personal favorite it has a epic story line that keeps me reading it foerver. Christian

Another fantastic adventure!

Picking up where the first book in the trilogy left off, I was once again quickly drawn into the world of Aiden and his new friend, Antoinette, and the marvelous world of Alleble threatened by a sinister Paragor intent on freeing the infamous Wyrm Lord and overtaking Alleble. If you love epic tales of adventure along the lines of Lord of the Rings you will love the Door Within trilogy. Check it out today!

Astonishing!

This book was so good.

CANT WAIT TO READ! JUST FINISHED FIRST BOOK OF TRILOGY!

Rise of the Wyrm Lord

In the continuation of The Door Within trilogy, author Wayne Thomas Batson weaves another masterful story about the mirror realm.
This time it is Aidan's new friend Antoinette Reed who is called into the Realm shortly after Aidan meets her. After entering the Door Within, Antoinette is called to be the twelfth knight in a mission to Yewland. What follows is a harrowing journey through the mysterious Blackwood in which they find the hiding place of the Seven Sleepers. However, they finally make it to see the queen of Yewland. They discover that some Paragor knights have just recently left and go after them. Because of a rather unfortunate short-cut, Aelic (Aidan's Glimpse) and Antoinette arrive before the others. Antoinette learns that Paragor's right hand man Kearn, is actually the glimpse of Robby, Aidan's friend. While in our world Antoinette was asked to try to reach him for King Eliam. Antoinette barely stops Aelic from killing Kearn and he escapes. Later that night, Antoinette sneaks out of the castle at Yewland and takes a dragon to Baen-Edge. While there she finds a young Yewland girl who is being sold as a slave and buys her with her sword and sets her free. The continue after Kearn until Antoinette is captured by him. Paragor has released the Wyrm lord to wreak havoc on the free nations of the realms. Will the armies of Alleble hold fast or will they break before the Wyrm lord?

The Rise of the Wyrm Lord: Second in the series

In the second book in the trilogy by Whayne Thomas Batson, Aidan is having new troubles. Summer is over, and he has to go to a new school. Thinking he won't know anyone, he goes anyway, knowing that he is never alone. He meets a girl named Antoinette, who he discovers also believes! However, she hasn't ever been to the Realm. Aidan helps her, and she travels to the Realm to go on a mission to Yewland. It seems Paragor is trying to get them as allies. When they get there, they find that Paragor got there first! Not only that, but Paragor is trying to wake the Seven Sleepers and the Wyrm Lord. Will he succeed? To find out, you'll just have to read the book.

Epic Fantasy continued

Once Aiden arrives home, he befriends another believer in the Books of Alleble at his school. As he spends time with her, he realizes she is Gwenne's human double and is being called to Alleble herself. Aiden makes Antoinette promise to find his friend Robby's double once there. In Alleble, Antoinette heads out on a mission as the 12th knight, before abandoning the group to go after Robby, whom is on the enemy's side.
Sequels tend to have a hard time surpassing the first book in their series, but this is a spectacular exception with a nice cliffhanger.

Loved the Characters, Loved the Story.

Meet Antoinette Reed, a girl with fiery hair and spirit. She meets Aiden at his new school in Colorado, after he got back from the Realm. He discovers that Antoinette believes in The Story, the book version of the scrolls Aiden had found. Antoinette is called to Alleble, ready for danger. She is to be the twelfth knight on an important mission. Danger, friendship, courage, fun, and more are melded together to create a perfect piece of work.

Gooooood book!

Rise of the Wyrm Lord was a great book. I liked The Door Within better than this one, but it is still a good read. One of the things that I disliked about the book was the character Antoinette. Others may like her, I didn't because she seemed nothing like her glimpse (her "twin"), Gwenne. I did like that Aiden (the main character from The Door Within) was still in this book. The story would go back to him every now and then and that made the book a lot more exciting. I also liked how, even though they were in different worlds, Aiden and Antoinette were working together to help their friend Robby come over to the side of King Eliam.
Overall, the book is very good and you should read it even if you didn't like The Door Within! In the end, it is all the pieces together that make the pie.

Great book!!

Antoinette, after believing that Alleble exists all her life meets Aidan who knows how to get there. Finding out that she is needed there she goes on the adventure to put a stop to the rising of the Wyrm Lord. Will Paragor succeed? Can Antoinette stop him in the swirling of shadows and setbacks, or will she herself turn to the evil side?

Never Alone

Antoinette Reed enters the realm and is trained to be a knight and help with a mission. She hears a myth of The Three Witnesses who will bring peace. There is an awakening of great evil in the realm. During the mission Antoinette sees someone that a friend on earth had asked her to help. With the choice before her, will Antoinette leave her companions and keep her promise? Or will she finish the mission that was set before her?

Worth reading if you liked the first book

The Rise of the Wyrm Lord is a very good story with enjoyable new characters and delightful new settings in addition to several that were already introduced in the first book of this trilogy. Another thing I enjoyed about this book was the addition of more fantastical creatures, and not all of them are quite as friendly as those in The Door Within.

The characters in this book face challenges that make you think about things in you encounter your own life. Because of this I think that anyone can take something away from reading this book.

I have no doubt that anyone who enjoyed The Door Within will also enjoy The Rise of the Wyrm Lord and recommend it to any fantasy-lover.

Blue Eyed Microscope

Rise of the Wyrm Lord

This is one of my all time favorite books!

The story picks up were 'The Door Within' left off.
On the first day of school Aidan's life looks poor. He is back on earth and no one believes him when he tells them about Alleble. Robby isn't returning his e-mails and his Grampin is dead. Can his life get any worst?
Then he meets a girl named Antoinette. Who is this blue eyed microscope?

I LOVE this book and the main reason is because of the characters. Wayne T. Batson is gifted in creating GREAT characters that you have to love.

GREAT book! I would recommend this and all of Wayne Thomas Baton's books in a moment.

Great!
