Product Description
THE GIRL ABOVE... Strange things happen to fifteen-year-old Lavida Mors. Maybe that's why her father sends her away to Portal Manor, a mysterious family estate she has never seen. Lavida quickly discovers that not everything at Portal Manor is as it seems when she stumbles across a secret passage to a hidden world--Anaedor. THE WORLD BELOW... Anaedor lies deep beneath the surface, separated from humanity, populated by mythical creatures. Long ago, ignorant humans, frightened by the powers of these magical and strange beings, forced them to flee to this dark world of huge caverns, frigid rivers and deep pits. It is these same creatures who take Lavida captive, forcing her to realize there might have been very good reasons for humans to be afraid. THE PROPHECY BINDS THEM... Malevolent forces, led by the evil Malvado, seek to control all of Anaedor, but an ancient prophecy tells of a hero who will save these denizens of the deep. While trying to escape the dark realm with the help of her friends, Lavida must battle overgrown sharp-toothed leeches, survive a poison arrow and outwit a giant, all the while trying to convince the hopeful populace of Anaedor that she is not the savior they believe her to be.

Really good fantasy book!, Oct 24 2007

This review is from: The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies (Paperback)
This book was so much fun to read! Are there going to be more? I really liked the characters, both human and non-human. Weird and entertaining. The concept is pretty unique, too. I thought the author was really funny and I hope she keeps writing...I'm pretty sure from the way she ended the book that there will be more in the series. Yeah! I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you like fantasy, humor and adventure!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun read, Mar 23 2008
By Sandi W - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies (Paperback)
I bought The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies knowing very little about the book. As a middle school teacher I read quite a bit of young adult fiction and fantasy. The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies is a great addition to my personal and classroom libraries.Lavida Mors is sent to her father's childhood home, a mansion that he refuses to return to, in order to attend a private school. Not long after her arrival, Lavida discovers the quirky and sometimes scary world behind the walls of the mansion.
I enjoyed reading about Lavida's adventures and discovering along with her what her role in Anaedor is to be. Kristina Schram has crafted a great story full of humor, fantasy, and perhaps a budding romance or two.
I look forward to the next books in this series and recommend this book.

Well written and fun-RATED 5 STARS NOT THREE, April 9 2008
By Virginia Ames - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chronicles of Anaedor: The Prophecies (Paperback)
I found the Chronicles of Anaedor a well writen book for young adults. The main character, Lavida Mors, is delightful if a bit of a handful. I liked her determination to find answers to her questions and curiousity delightful. And her adventures in the "undeworld" exciting. I highly recommend this book as a gift, after you have read it yourself! ** I RATED THE BOOK WITH "FIVE" STARS, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT SHOWED "THREE!" SINCE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE RATING, I AM STATING IT HERE.
Listmania!
