Legendary Book Review Novels & Stories

Kyra- Spending a couple of hours in the library, I was beginning to lose hope, was there really such thing as a Champion? If it really was an archaic tradition, how much of what Caleb said was accurate? Looking through the stack of books I had pulled from the shelves, I paused on one that read ‘Myths or Legends?’. I wasn’t sure if the book would tell me much, but for some reason, I was drawn to it.

' I exclaimed in my head in unbelief and shock. "So what message do you have for me?" He asked with a more serious yet calm tone. I heaved a sigh and took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and I began to explain my encounter with Miranda the night before. He remained silent for a long time after my explanation, his eyes glossing over as if he were conversing with someone through a mind link. "There is indeed a mention of such prophecy in the records back in the royal library, but there is no mention of a royal witch survivor. I will have her checked to make sure she's not a fake," he assured.

"I got a book… an old lady gave it to me. She didn’t look old, not really. Just… strange. Like she knew me." Lucien's eyes narrowed slightly, his attention fully fixed on her. "She handed me the book and then… she disappeared. Just like that. No explanation. Nothing." Elara swallowed. "I thought it was weird, but I still took it." Her hands trembled faintly as she spoke, the memory still too vivid. "The cover said… The Legend Alpha Prince," she said quietly. "And when I touched it… it started glowing." A ripple of tension moved across the room.

Frustration claws at my chest until my fingers brush against a thick, worn book shoved far back on a lower shelf. The Legend of the Dragon Warriors. I scoff immediately. Dragons. Of course. I almost shove it back. I hate everything that has to do with dragons now. Everything about them reminds me of things I would rather forget, bonds I would rather pretend never existed. But something stops me. Tiny lettering at the very bottom of the spine catches my eye. Blue fire. My pulse stutters. I pull the book out slowly and flip it open. The pages are old. Fragile. The first image nearly knocks the air out of my lungs.

shelf behind me. He flipped it open with the kind of skeptical look one might reserve for suspicious contracts or unstable explosives. “Let me guess,” he said, skimming the back cover. “‘Hidden royal bloodline, secret prophecy, forbidden romance with a tortured Alpha Prince?’” I narrowed my eyes. “It’s award-winning.” He raised an eyebrow. “So is sheep shearing at the county fair. Doesn’t mean I want to do it.” I snatched the book out of his hands before he could bend the cover. “Says the man who used an annotated memoir on territorial legislation as bedtime reading.”

Dust clung to everything, and the dim lighting made it feel more like a tomb than a library. I found a small table in the corner and set my bag down, then started browsing through the shelves. It didn’t take long to realize that most of the books were about standard small-town fare—local history, genealogy, that sort of thing. But buried between the boring volumes on family trees and tax records, I found something a little more interesting. Legends of Blackthorn Ridge. The book was old, its spine cracked and its pages yellowed with age. The title alone made my pulse quicken with anticipation. I pulled it from the shelf and sat down at the table, flipping it open.

He bowed and was gone as quickly as he arrived, leaving the heavy satchel behind. I lunged for the bag the moment the tent flap sealed. I untied the cord with shaking fingers and pulled out the book. It wasn't ancient and brittle. It was a modern reprint, but the cover read: Healers' Lore: The Legacy of the Wounded Crown. It was a medical text, disguised as a historical relic.

That’s when I saw it. A book,half-hidden beneath the bed. My heart skipped. I reached for it slowly, my fingers brushing the worn leather cover. As I pulled it into the light, my breath caught. The Legendary Luna. The title was carved into the front in elegant, ancient script. “This can’t be…” I whispered. “Isn’t this the same book from the library?” How did it end up here? Just then, Scarlet’s voice echoed in my mind. “There is a lot you need to know,” she said softly.

She could feel her body is trembling but she couldn't move even one step. Amayah's eyes widened even more as the two people who had killed her mother and sister slowly walked towards her. She stared at the blade of the two swords in their hands. The swords are stained with blood from the bodies of her mother and Sister Aloha. And soon those swords will also be stained with her blood.
