Excerpt:
Stupid, arrogant! thought the Warden. Turn your
back on a panther? You’re lucky to be alive. But then he looked at Kitra
and her companions’ faces. Their expressions were a mix of horror, shock, and
satisfaction.
The Warden smiled. Well
done, Dox! That couldn’t have gone any better! Not only were the cats awake,
they almost tore your arm off. You just doubled my asking price! Well done, thought
the Warden as he helped the Minotaur back to his feet.
“Are you alright?” the Warden asked as he looked at Dox’s
shredded arm. “I can get you something for the pain. We’ll need to stitch that
up.”
Blood gushed from several large gashes in the beast-man’s
forearm, but he didn’t seem bothered by it. “I’m fine, master. The pain is
gone,” answered Dox.
“You’re making a mess, Dox; go get that cleaned up.”
The beast-man nodded. He grabbed a
cloth, wrapped his wounded arm, and left the tent.
“I must have him,” said the war
maiden.
“Excellent! Now, we only need settle
on a price, and the beast is yours. The one with the four white socks,
correct?” asked the Warden.
The war maiden didn’t even bother
looking at Kai or the Warden as she answered. Her gaze was still fixed on
Kelor. “I said I want this one. The one with no fear,” said Kitra as she
pointed to Kelor.
I knew you were going to say
that. The little pain put on too good of a show. I could make a fortune with
him in the arena, thought the Warden. “Are you sure, my lady? As I
mentioned before, the panthers can be a stubborn and ill tempered race, this
one most of all… as you can clearly see.”
Kitra stood up and faced the Warden. “I want him. He’s
perfect,” she said as she pointed at Kelor. “Let’s be done with it; I have
other duties that require my attention.”
The Warden forced a smile as he ushered the group back to the
receiving area of the tent. Fine, have it your way, but it’s gonna cost you,
he thought.

Conclusion:
A fantasy adventure that features lots of action and intrigue that is geared to a YA audience.
There are moments in this tale that are especially well done... story telling at a level that I'd be interested to see what this author would do with an adult orientated fantasy work.
As a dedicated YA work... 5 Stars.

The beginning of a great adventure!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first book of the Trail of Bones series. It is an unpredictable adventure, with heartwrenching acts of love and friendship. The story ended before I was prepared to put my Kindle down, and now I will wait anxiously for the second book to be published. In the meantime, I think I'll read it again with my eleven-year-old son; I'm sure he'll love it as much as I do. Give it a read!

Enthralling story line that really pulls you in
…The characters were some that I will not easily forget because he explains their background in a way that makes the reader really connect and believe they are real. He creates a world that I long to see. I really grew to both love and hate different characters. I think that is a sign of a really great author when they can make us feel so much emotion towards a character.

Chris Salisbury has been writing fantasy, science fiction, suspense, and action thrillers for years in independent films. Now he’s expanded his love of good movies, such as Gladiator, Counte of Monte Cristo, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, Star Trek, to the world of books. Trail of Bones is the first book in a planned four part fantasy, young adult series targeted at readers of all ages.
The father of four enjoys a wide range of interests from scuba diving to softball, coaching basketball to playing Battlefield 3 on his Xbox 360 or NCAA Football with his sons. He is also a big advocate for literacy and reading for young boys. There seem to be few titles that appeal to young boys and young men to hold their attention, trigger their imaginations and create a love of reading. Chris is out to change that.
In addition to the Trail of Bones series, he also has a number of other titles in development including historical fiction, action, suspense thrillers, and several science fiction properties. There’s a lot more on the horizon, so enjoy Trail of Bones but be sure to look for more captivating titles from Chris Salisbury in the near future.
