The Sylvan Horn, written by Robert Redinger, is a 2010 Readers Favorite Gold Medal winner, a 2010 Montaigne Medal Finalist (nominated for most thought provoking book), a 2011 Indie Excellence Awards finalist, a 2011 International Book Awards finalist, and a 2011 Eric Hoffer Award finalist.

Overview: Before the days of men, there were elves. In a time they were great and powerful, the first dwellers, the brightest ray of dawn upon the earth. They brought light and music to the world and every breeze that stirs and wave that crashes still echoes with the wonder of the fair folk. But a foulness is brewing in the east, where men deal in sorcery. They summon dire forces, unleashing a terrible power into the world. And the elves, once immortal, now fade from the earth. But knowing that all sorcery comes from Runes that were carved ages ago, Efkin, a young elf lord, races to find and destroy the hidden Runes before all is lost. He sets out to recover the horn of his ancestors that long ago summoned the forces that shaped the world. Only the horn has the power to break the Runes. He journeys into the east, but comes too close to the heart of sorcery and does not dare blow the horn. If he is tainted by the poison of the Runes the horn will sound a ruinous note that could spell the end of the earth.

Review: I really enjoyed this book, as I do most young adult and fantasy novels. Robert Redinger brings to life some truly fantastic characters that transport you to another world. The writing and story-line is very creative and poetic. This book definitely has a different style from a lot of the mainstream young adult books. If you love fantasy novels, then you are sure to love The Sylvan Horn as well!

The Sylvan Horn retails for $15.95 and can be purchased on amazon.com.
