Jimmy Bennet had nothing more on his mind than graduating from high school in a few weeks. That is until the emerald he found at an excavation site brought strange hooded figures into his life. The Knights of Juzhani: The Emerald of the Black Cave by Brandon Young takes the reader along with Jimmy and his best friend, Alex, on an adventure spanning unknown worlds with reptilian enemies and the remaining Knights of Juzhani. Jimmy’s emerald is no mere stone – it contains the essence of an evil former Knight who turned to the dark arts in his quest for power. Xanadon’s reptilian army attacks Lakeview and Prairie Hills, looking for Jimmy and the emerald, forcing the boys and their strange new friend Zorkel to fight for their lives. With their superior numbers, the Reptilia capture the emerald so the fighting group follows them through a portal back to the world of Shamaria where they hope to prevent Xanadon from regaining his power. Will they be in time or is this too much of a task for a couple of high school seniors and an old man?

Intense action drives the plot in The Knights of Juzhani: The Emerald of the Black Cave by Brandon Young as Jimmy, Alex and the Knights they meet struggle to overcome the evil Reptilia. Jimmy’s sense of honor and dedication to protecting the emerald lead him on a tremendous adventure in this fast-paced book that is perfect for a quick read or a reluctant reader. Straight forward and action packed, The Knights of Juzhani is thoroughly entertaining and hard to put down.
