Customer Review

As a grown woman and an avid reader, I randomly found this book as it was time to pick a book for my small book club. I thought why not read it and why not suggest it to my book group?

My kids are grown, but when they were younger, I read to them always even into their young teens, so this took me back to our adventure books!

This one is fun and definitely worth sharing. I was right on this one!

It took me a minute to adjust to young reader books again, but then I settled into it. There are characters I got attached to and had fun reading about their adventures – Sticks and Danyu – a little misbehaving, two boys figuring out what’s going on – the mystery about Sticks, the secret of their elders, and the village. There is their “ watchdog” that keeps them safe at all times. There are elders that teach them respect and who guide them as best they can! And the bossy teenaged girl who keeps an eye on them when the elders are busy!

What more can a reader ask for in a book? Oh, the adventure, the mystery, the swamp, and the creatures! Definitely worth reading!

About the author

A.J. Summers is a lifelong dreamer, adventurer, and myth-maker. With a love for magical realism and allegorical storytelling, Summers weaves tales that explore destiny, self-discovery, and the eternal battle between light and dark. Valor: Quest of the Mystic Knights is the first novel in a planned fantasy saga that invites readers to reflect, imagine, and awaken the hero within.

I’ve been asked the question many times before, “…why do I write…” Well, I write to inspire, engage, and enlighten readers. My goal is to encourage readers to look inward and discover the positive qualities within themselves, empowering them to become the best versions of themselves.

I aim to engage readers in thought-provoking topics that foster self-reflection, allowing them to learn from their past experiences and even the characters in my writings.

Furthermore, I strive to enlighten readers about the advantages of adopting an alternative and positive mindset when confronted with life’s challenges. For instance, when faced with a seemingly insignificant obstacle like a lemon for a snack, I encourage readers to recognize the inherent sweetness within themselves and embrace the opportunity for growth and success.

See it, be it, do it, become the magic…

About Valor: Quest of the Mystic Knights

In a land veiled by mist and mystery, a forgotten boy awakens in the heart of a murky swamp… with no name, no past, and an unsettling power pulsing within him.

Hunted by creatures he cannot name and haunted by dreams he cannot explain, the boy embarks on a journey that will draw him into the hidden world of the Mystic Knights—an ancient brotherhood sworn to guard the light against a rising darkness.

As shadowy forces gather and whispers of a long-dead prophecy stir, the boy—now called Sticks—must face a truth more dangerous than he imagined: the key to saving the realm may lie within him. But is he a chosen warrior… or something far more powerful and unpredictable?

Filled with mythic lore, magical creatures, and a battle between destiny and darkness, Valor: Quest of the Mystic Knights is a gripping young adult fantasy that will enchant readers of all ages.
