In Martyr’s Fire, by Sigmund Brouwer, the Priests of the Holy Grail take control of the castle at Magnus and Thomas is forced to escape.  Gervaise helps him escape and tells him of a cave where he can go to learn more.  He finds a puppy, who keeps him company as he decides what to do next and finds people who he is determined belong to the Druids (Priests of the Holy Grail).  Katherine and Hawkwood, part of the Merlins, not the Druids, have been trying to keep Thomas safe.  They are also trying to convince him that he is part of the Merlins. 

Will Thomas believe Katherine and Hawkwood?

 My thoughts-

Martyr’s Fire, by Sigmund Brouwer, was an excellent book.  I have read the first book in the series, The Orphan King, but missed the second book, Fortress of Mist.  I found that while it would have been fun to read book two, it wasn’t necessary for knowing the story line.  I was glad I had read at least one of the books, because without it I would not have understood what was happening and why.

This book would work well for young men and women, since there was a young man and a young woman as main characters, Thomas and Katherine.  It was great to read a book that was geared toward all young adults.  The cover of the book even showed both of them and the back copy mentioned both of them.

Brouwer did an excellent job writing this book and I think all young adults would enjoy this book and so would adults.  I would encourage you to pick up a copy today.
