Quests: Book Two of Guardians of the Forest Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

'I couldn't put it down and read the whole book in one sitting.'


Gwen and Mark battle bears, slave trader robbers, torrential rivers and the trees themselves in their quest for the mythical Sleih.

The invading Madach have discovered the Danae villages and Gwen and Mark flee into the perilous Deep Forest. They must find the Sleih, who may or may not be a myth, and who may or may not help as, so village lore proclaims, they helped the Danae once before - for a price. And where is their lost sister, Lucy? Has she fallen foul of the robber Madach who capture Gwen and Mark?

While the brother and sister battle the dangers of the Deep Forest, an ambitious and powerful Seer hunts for them, desperate to thwart their quest.

Can Mark and Gwen reach the Sleih before the Seer finds them and destroys all hope of rescue for the imprisoned Danae?

For 9 yrs old and over, and lovers of fantasy adventure, forests and mythical beasts of any age.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cheryl Burman grew up as the child forever reading on her bed. But as this was Australia, she was also often tempted outside to the beach and the yabby creeks near her suburban home. When she moved to the Forest of Dean in SW England she, like Tolkien and Rowling, was inspired to write. Given she is lucky enough to live in a place chock-a-block full of history, legend and myth, there is much to draw on. She does so, as well as on her own childhood in Australia.

She started with middle grade fantasy, discovered a taste for historical fiction, also that short stories and flash can be fun, and now she has moved on to historical fantasy. She likes a challenge and a change.

As Cheryl Mayo, she is a former Chair of Dean Writers Circle and a founder of Dean Scribblers, which encourages the creative writing spark in young people in the community. She is also the co-author, with her (now sadly deceased) border collie of the ever-popular Sammy's Walks Dog friendly Walks in the Forest of Dean, which is available on Amazon and in local outlets in the Forest of Dean.

    In Book Two of this magical series, a brother and sister lead the way in securing help to save their land from the evil Lord Rafe, who wants to destroy their forest for his gain. They seek the Kingdom of the Sleih, where they believe help can be found. Their journey is thwarted by the Madach robbers and a powerful Seer at every turn, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat. I couldn't put it down and read the whole book in one sitting.

    I highly recommend this book and series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars As Engrossing and Captivating as the First Book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2022
    Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series, I wasn't disappointed with the second!

    This book moves beyond the coastal villages of the first book and takes you deep into the world of the Deep Forest. I love that the fantasy world that the author has created opens up and immerses the reader - young and old - within it.

    Are the Sleith real?
    Will they help if they are?
    Will the evil seer capture Gwen and Mark?

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wilderness kids adventure with never a dull moment
    Reviewed in Australia on January 2, 2024
    This is Gwen and Mark's quest to find their missing sister Lucy, and seek aid for their people (the Danae) before the Haddach driver them from their lands once more. Gwen and Mark the wilds, robbers and find unlikely allies and an unexpected foe as they cross the wilderness to complete their quest. There's never a dull moment and a few twists and turns along the way. An entertaining read paced at a speed I suspect many of my primary school students would enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 of the trilogy
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2021
    Gwen and Mark bravely face known and unknown threats on a mission to find their sister Lucy and plead for help for all in their village. They learn a lot along the way and meet people who sometimes help and sometimes hinder their progress. They keep going and so must the reader. Cheryl Burman's series is set in a fantasy world every age can relate to. I love the element of surprise that she conjures up. Glad I could purchase and read all of these without waiting. As soon as I finished one I started the next.
