The King family leaves LA to move into a home that has been in the family for generations, located in the small town of Pinedale. Not excited about the move, Xander and his younger brother David, and sister Toria are intrigued by the old Victorian home, but feel there is something strange about the house and the deep woods around them. As they uncover hidden passages and parts of the house, they realize they are not alone and they must protect the family and the house from an ancient enemy. 

Ryland Grace wakes up from a coma, afflicted with amnesia. Ryland doesn't remember his name, let alone remember that he is on a one-way mission to save more than Earth and the human race.

I enjoy Weir's attention to detail, while providing sarcastic remarks to keep me laughing and entertained throughout the book. 

Join Kvothe's adventure as he describes and unravels his life tale as a simple man to a legend. This book is part of a series so check out his second book, The Wise Man's Fear. I am still waiting for his last book to be released!
