Amazing book. Don't read it if you value 2 or so weeks where you can't even think about reading anything else. After you are finished. ( )

A true fantasy. A coming of age story, with love, lust, and magic. Left me wanting more. ( )

Epigraph
Turning and turning in the widening gyre, The falcom cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned. - W.B. Yeats, The Second Coming | Miri it is while sumer ilast with fugheles song. Oc nu necheth windes blast and weder strong. Ei, Ei! What this night is long! And ich with well michel wrong soregh and murne and fast. - Old English Plaint

A haunting story of destiny and magic in the time of the Crusades

In this compelling fantasy from cult favorite David Clement-Davies, a boy learns his fate is caught up with that of a king. When Rhodri Falcon has his fortune told at the village fair, he learns about the Telling Pool, a mystical spring in the heart of the forest that shows great secrets of the past, present, and future. What he glimpses in the pool will set him on a quest to free his father from the grip of an enchantress and to save his country from an old curse, dating back to the time of King Arthur.

Expertly told, The Telling Pool transports young readers to the days of the Crusades, a time of conflict that mirrors our own.
