Twist of the Blade

The Shards of Excalibur, Book 2

By: Edward Willett

Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

The power of Excalibur is changing Ariane in scary ways. As she and Rex Major race for the second shard, Wally’s no longer sure whose side he should be on . . .

When Ariane seriously hurts Wally’s sister, Flish, his belief in her is shaken. Meanwhile, the second shard is in France, and Rex Major already knows it’s there. Ariane powers from the Lady of the Lake enable her to travel magically through freshwater, but now there’s a saltwater ocean in the way . . .

As Major uses Wally's doubts to cause a rift between the friends, Ariane takes the chance to go it alone. But if the first shard's power is barely controllable, how will she fare when two shards are united?

Twist of the Blade is an exciting modern-day young-adult fantasy by award-winning author Edward Willett, perfect for anyone who thrills to stories of modern-day magic and tales of King Arthur.

Critic reviews

“A satisfying second instalment…Twist of the Blade offers an enticing sense of danger and excitement as Ariane pursues her mission, but the narrative doesn’t shy away from the story’s human elements…It’s refreshing to read a story in which the heroes and villains are not cut-and-dried, and readers can look forward to three more instalments in this genuinely entertaining myth-based series.”–Quill & Quire
