If you're a fan of medieval fantasy, A Draw of Kings is a winner! This book has more twists and turns than a thrill ride at the amusement park. A Draw of Kings is the third book in Patrick W. Carr’s The Staff and The Sword series. In order to understand the plot and the twists and turns of the story, you will want to read the first two books in this series: The Hero's Lot and A Cast of Stones. Errol is the main character in this trilogy, and he has become a warrior. He is willing to give his life so that the proper man can replace the old king who has died. Duke Weir has taken the old king’s place by force and is willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. Lots are cast to find out who is to become the new king. How this affects Illustra and its people is an important part of the story. Adora is the old king’s niece, and she is being sought by Duke Weir to bear his son to give him the royal blood needed so he has the right to be king. Of course, she's not on board with this idea! Understanding the unusual terms and names will be easier if the previous books have been read. Patrick Carr is an imaginative writer and has written a book that holds your attention and keeps you reading. If you enjoy medieval fiction, this is a great series to read, but please do read the first two books. ☺ To help out readers of The Staff and The Sword trilogy, I've reformatted a glossary and list of characters and geographical locations found on Patrick Carr's website so it's easier to view.

Hi Julieanne, I've really enjoyed reading your blog, especially your THM recipes. This morning I followed the link for this book review & thought I'd try a free sample on my Kindle of the 1st book in the series (A Cast of Stone) when I discovered that the book itself is free (!). You don't mention that in your review so I thought it would be helpful to your other readers. Thanks for all your great information. God's blessing & have a great day.
