Spectacular fantasy for all ages!

Incredible story rich with magical characters and setting so well written that the reader is drawn into the mystical forest right along with young Ivan Kimble. If you enjoyed the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings series' this is a must read for you. Bravo, Vicki Thomas!

Praise & Reviews

Just when you think you’ve read every plot line, there comes another, one that’s so distinctive it makes you hope it will become a series. The Long Dark Cloak contains a plethora of vibrant, unique characters that remain true to their personalities throughout the book. At first Ivan appears to be a normal fifteen-year-old farm boy, and then he’s thrown into life situations that would test even the strongest adult. This book is wonderful for anyone who loves action, adventure, and true emotion. What a delight it was to learn this would become a series!
