The Silver Dwarf

Ben's double life continues at the Royal Institute of Magic. To most, he's a talented apprentice and an exceptional spell shooter, but Ben is also a Guardian, responsible for uniting Elizabeth's Armour, the only artefact powerful enough to overthrow the evil dark elves. With two pieces of the armour secure, finding the third may be Ben's toughest challenge yet. His only clue is a magical key, a tenuous link to a legend called the Silver Dwarf. With the dark elves slowly conquering the Unseen Kingdoms, Ben races against time to gather the pieces of armour and unite the Guardians entrusted with them. If that wasn't hard enough, new challenges and old enemies await him at the Institute, and his friendship will be tested like never before. Victor Kloss's The Silver Dwarf is the fourth book in the Royal Institute of Magic series—a thrilling adventure for young readers who love fantastical stories, spellbinding worlds, and unforgettable heroes. ___________________________________________Praise for the Royal Institute of Magic series:? ? ? ? ? a cross between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in that the characters are always on the move at a sort of breathless pace. ? ? ? ? ? ... you don't have to be a magical creature to use magic. Cool. ? ? ? ? ? Wonderful Read! Not just for kids, adults will enjoy it just as much!? ? ? ? ? ... a great sense of adventure, the story line never lagged, and his characters are well defined. ? ? ? ? ? It's kind of like a steam-punk version of magic...? ? ? ? ? ... original with diverse characters and enough action and mystery to entertain teens to adults. ? ? ? ? ? It is honestly one of the few books that I have enjoyed as much as Harry Potter.
