Missing Medallion - Sons of Elderberry series, #3

When Prince Mujina of Aureus Orbem, a mischievous Yokai bent on proving himself, unwittingly shapeshifts into the fearsome Manticore using the ancient medallion, Mathusala, he unleashes Rebelles, the most dreaded curse of his people and becomes Rebelles, the prophecy. Though triumphant at first, will the burgeoning power become unstoppable? He must face and conquer the curse, but will he be able to control the raging beast, or will it forever control him? Sneed weaves a beautifully complex story about elves, fairies, dragons, and wizards in her Sons of Elderberry series-a wonderfully crafted epic fantasy.
If you love stories that take you to other worlds, you'll appreciate Sneed's ability to world build and create meaningful characters. -Zeigler
