The Kingdom of Eskendria is facing the greatest threat to its existence since the fall of the legendary Old Kingdom. The cruel servants of the Destroyer, the ancient enemy of the kingdom, are creeping into the forests of the Forsaken lands ever closer to the mighty river that forms the boundary of Eskendria. Their goal to annihilate it completely.
Eskendria's allies have deserted it and its mountain passes are terrorised by a nest of brigands led by their enigmatic leader, Celedorn - the greatest swordsman in the kingdom and a man with such a savage reputation that even the minions of the enemy are afraid of him.
As a final resort, Relisar, the last of the Sages, attempts to summon the champion predicted in an ancient prophesy to save the Kingdom in its darkest hour. But alas, age has diminished Relisar's powers and all he manages to summon is one ragged girl who can remember nothing about herself, not even her name.
The king, desperate to avoid a battle on two fronts, sends his eldest son, Andarion, to deal with the threat from the mountains, but he is facing no ordinary adversary in Celedorn and his plans go badly awry. The confrontation in the mountains sets in train a series of unexpected events that lead to Relisar, Andarion, Celedorn and the girl with no name finding themselves on a perilous journey across the Forsaken Lands in a race against time both to save themselves and Eskendria.
Yet no human being has crossed these lands in a thousand years and all that is known about them is merely legend. Are the rumours true that fragments of the Old Kingdom live on, hidden from the Destroyer? Are the stories about ancient and evil spirits haunting the forests only myth?
As for the companions, who is the girl with no name? And most of all, what is the dreadful secret that Celedorn is hiding that could affect the fate of the Kingdom?

By the cover and title, I expected another tale of the Celts and Druids. What I found, was an unexpected treat.Grieve is an accomplished, British, Author, with a lovely writing style that new novels, neglect.
The last of small kingdoms that brag of war and allies, this tale isn't cluttered with dragons or the Reformation or plagues. Each abomination, ancient ruin and land was so clear in my mind, and I experienced it all. The author's carefully crafted characters, had the right amount of detail, complimenting the story and each other.
I've never met the author, R.J. Grieve, but if he speaks like he writes, I'd follow him around just to listen to his wonderful vocabulary.
I'm ready to read, Book Two, The Sword of Erren-dar, as soon as my cat Leo gets off my Kindle.

The Crystal Chalice The Legend of Errendar Book 1 eBook RJ Grieve Reviews
I really enjoyed reading this book. I almost didn't read it because of the bad reviews. Yes there was a few misspellings, but not enough to detract you from the story. I loved that the romance was not heavy and the female lead was not a idiot. This was a good book.
I Loved this Book!!! One of the best writer's I have found lately. So many authors are not writer's! The flow was excellent, nothing was padded for additional pages and the conversations between the characters were interesting and engaging.
A complete world has been created here.the descriptions are gorgeous, the characters rich and complex, especially the heathcliffian hero. The love scenes are erotic without being grossly graphic. The battle scenes are gripping and suspenseful. The writing is polished and professional.
Enjoyable read. I figured out some of the plot beforehand but there was still a lot of things I didn't see coming. Is this the best book ever written? No. It is however exactly what I think it was intended to be - entertaining. The story moves along at a good pace. The description of the world is vivid. I could "see" the world in my mind as I was reading. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy and/or romance. I personally don't pick romance stories anymore and did not realize this had a strong romantic story when I got it but the romance adds to the story. It has the same type of appeal as Lord of the Rings.
I chose this rating because I absolutely could not put this book down! I stayed up to the wee hours of the morning, falling asleep over it. Then I got up and started reading it again. It was a fantasy, a story of magic and war and love. It should have a 10 star rating! I will recommend it to all my family and friends.
The author really, really likes the sound of language as evidenced by florid descriptions. But those don't drag on too long and there's plenty of action and feats of derring-do to offset them. The romance builds slowly, spiced with nothing more than a few kisses. The story is reminiscent of Tolkien's work, with Turog standing join for orcs. The dialog is occasionally stilted and stiff. Comma errors pop up enough to recommend a proofreader take a look at the manuscript. The transparent plot holds no surprises.
For all that, this is still a very good read because the enjoyment is all in the journey. It would make a terrific movie.
Mildly predictable, but well executed tale. The archetypes are fleshed out with ample description, while resisting flowery prose or such undue details regarding tapestries of meals. The primary weakness in the story is a lack of urgency and originality. It is a well good story with common tropes that should do the job of entertainment without the burden of life changing inspiration. Assuming that it remains available at a reasonable pulp fiction price point, it is worth the reader's time. I have bought the next story in the series through prime and look forward to reading more.
