title: Sword of Deliverance: Book 2 in the Defenders of the Breach Saga
author:  Douglas J Tawlks 
description: Douglas Tawlk's DEFENDERS OF THE BREACH has the "magic" and "wizardry" of HARRY POTTER. It also creates the high adventure of LORD OF THE RINGS. Tawlks' places his characters in situations that face today's teenagers. The hero, Cyle, is confronted by evil and must decide what to do on his quest in the "Ancient of Days". Spiritual overtones that don't hit you square in the face fight the dark magic of old. Howard Kazanjian Executive Producer of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Empire Strikes Back
