Book Review By Sarah Moore
Castledance by K.L. Morgan

Castledance Volume 1
    Fiarah is the last Historian gifted with power to step back in history and reveal the truth. A dark sorcerer, attempting to rewrite history five hundred annums past, killed all the Historians. Only Fiarah remained alive, hidden by the Judges of Light.
    Evil once more threatens Furth. All the races, peace loving trolls, elves, humans, undants, gnomes and delves are in jeopardy. There is no escape.
   A young delf, Wit, is the first to discover something amiss. A forbidden castle fortress is concealed on Lightning Dance. An indifferent Delf Ministry forces Wit and his friends to confront the evil alone, but how can they fight a dark sorcerer?
    Fiarah is captured, the enemy wants her to step into the future. She is the only one gifted enough to step into the past, and may be the only one able to save Furth's future!
