Divided against Yourselves (Spell Weaver)
Description
<h2>Taliesin Weaver thought that he had saved himself and his friends when he defeated the witch Ceridwen. He was wrong.</h2><h3><i>He always thought of evil as embodied in external threats that he could overcome in combat. Soon he will discover that the worst evil has been inside of him all along....</i></h3><p>Tal’s girlfriend is in a coma for which he holds himself responsible. A close friend, suffering from a past-life memory trauma similar to Tal's, is getting worse, not better. Morgan Le Fay is still lurking around and has an agenda Tal can’t figure out. Supernatural interruptions in his life are becoming more frequent, not less so, despite his expectations. In fact, Tal learns that something about his unique nature amplifies otherworldly forces in ways he never imagined were possible, ways that place at risk everyone close to him.</p><p>Tal and his allies must face everything from dead armies to dragons. As soon as they overcome one menace, another one is waiting for them. More people are depending on Tal than ever; he carries burdens few adults could face, let alone a sixteen-year-old like himself. Yet somehow Tal at first manages to handle everything the universe throws at him.</p><p>What Tal can’t handle is the discovery that a best friend, almost a brother, betrayed him, damaging Tal’s life beyond repair. For the first time, Tal feels a darkness within him, a darkness which he can only barely control...assuming he wants to. He’s no longer sure. Maybe there is something to be said for revenge, and even more to be said for taking what he wants. After all, he has the power...</p><p> </p><h2><u>Can Tal stop himself before he destroys everyone he has sworn he will protect? Scroll up to buy a copy and find out!</u></h2>
Reviews
Amazon Reviewer —<br /><div>"<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">More than anything, I loved the use of language and imagery. My wife was getting annoyed with me as I kept interrupting her with, "Oh, you've got to hear this part!" The metaphors are unique and, unlike too many authors, aren't repetitive. </span></div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br />The characters seem to have depth and personality from the very beginning. Their dialog sounds natural and isn't stilted or boring. Martin, the hero, is the sure to become one of those characters that the readers won't let die (like Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt). His natural bravado and regretted past make him one of those characters you just fall in love with. His ever present partner, Angel, is rather unique herself and leaves you wondering, "what next?" <br /><br />The setting starts out on Earth in the 2200's with Electric Mustang's, Starbucks, and Interstellar Hyperspace Travel. Phillips takes some realistic views of a future with continued growth, advancement in medicine, and hiking gear every outdoorsman wishes they had. <br /><br />The plot is well refined, with no loose ends or obvious faults. It stays exciting from start to end and is well worth the read."</span>
