The Halfblood King:  Book 1 of the Chronicles of AertuThis work of fiction is such an interesting story!  Everytime I put the book down to do errands I decided to put the errands on hold and read a chapter or two more.  I wasn't avoiding the errands, the book engulfed me.  In my opinion, this is a terrific story.  If this story is made into a movie, I hope the author informs me.When Aleron's parents are killed, he is raised by his maternal grandfather and a woman named Jessamine.  His grandfather, Hadaras, was wise and he and Jessamine raised Aleron well.  Aleron was compassionate and was receiving powers which he was learning to master to fight evil.  It was so creative to take a spectrum of colors to represent various powers.  His grandfather's guidance taught Aleron the importance of self-control in the use of such powers.  Hadaras taught Aleron he is not to consider himself above others, rather, he is to be a part of the community.  Aleron's travels to learn of the world and flight to rescue the one he wishes to marry all make for an intriguing story.There is more than one historical synopsis at the end of the story along with various calendars, all making for a great story!There are some minor grammatical errors but don't let this discourage you from reading this terrific story!  I don't want to write anything further because I don't want to give away the story.Josephine CalabreseWriter/Lyricist/Publisher
