The Crystal Chalice
Vol II in the Lost Myths Saga

by Debora Elizabeth Hill, Sandra Brandenburg



      In the second volume of the Lost Myths Saga, The Crystal Chalice, authors Debra Elizabeth Hill and Sandra Brandenburg once again have our four time travelers slipping back into the other dimension where the cloven-hoofed Daemona are the good guys. Celebrating the one year anniversary of their return to this altered realm, novelist Evan Stone has the wand of their first adventure re-crafted into a crystal chalice, taking them to King Lucifer’s northern kingdom, which resembles a medieval version of Sweden. However, this time, rock star Marshall Storme is on the outs with his lady, student Lilian Curtis, and Evan’s fiancée, Valaura Bennet, keeps shying away from setting a wedding date and the notion of having children. These emotional turmoils are only amplified in the Land of the Chalice, where they are faced with royal marriage designs on Marshall and Valaura. To complicate these matters of the heart, Evan and Marshall are captured by Amazones who want them for breeding purposes.

The is a wild (but tasteful) bedroom romp in an alternate universe that only Hill and Brandenburg can bring to life. Like their first book, Land of the Wand, which dealt with the action suit of the Tarot -in that book, it was the waging of war with the Angeles, the bad guys- The Crystal Chalice deals with the emotion suit, or cups, of the Tarot. It is no wonder then, that these very human heroes find themselves dealing with matters of the heart. The Crystal Chalice was a welcome reunion with these characters. Hill and Brandenburg promise at least two more volumes in the series, dealing with the other two suits of the Tarot. Well done!
