Plot Summary of The Warlock Crystal
"Erica had never thought of herself as the adventurous type. She usually went out of her way to avoid anything outside her normal routine. At sixteen, she certainly had no desire to be a hero. That all changed when she met Christopher. She suddenly found herself in that very role as she tried to help a friend. She discovers the true strength of her spirit and willpower, while facing the evil in the magic world . . . "
Rick E Patton, Resident Scholar
