The city is dying. This little girl is its only hope.

Twelve-year-old Miss Rags is a goddess: As a hybrid of the world’s two sapient species, she has the power to grant her worshipers visions of God. But she is destined to die before her sixteenth birthday.

Now transformed into a living weapon by her mad-scientist pediatrician, she stalks the crime-ridden streets of the decaying temple city, determined to punish the wicked in the time she has left.

When Rags gets word that a pimp and drug pusher on the city’s south end has bought a young girl from the slave market, she stages a rescue with the help of a few close friends and her alcoholic, carjacking dog. But Southside is a powder keg: The grudges between rival gangs are about to explode into open war, and the site of the planned rescue is the epicenter.

Rags just wanted to save a life. Now she’ll have to fight to keep herself and her friends alive.

The sacrifice of a dragon yields immense power.

Isaac attends a church school where pastors sacrifice dragons and use their magic to enslave the world. The last thing his father left him with before shipping him off was a notebook depicting pastors who lived in peace with the creatures. Yet, because of the world he sees around him, Isaac throws the notebook away and chooses to follow the Lord.

In Isaac’s Blessing, three rogue students escape from the church of St. Daemonus while the horror surrounding them becomes more than just deceit. They discover the truth about the Lord and first-era and are tasked with stopping the ultimate draconic sacrifice.

“The Search For Synergy” is the first book in The Talisman Series by author Brett Salter. It follows the exploits of two middle-school boys, Rome Lockheed and Julian Rider, as they transition from normal kids into epic warriors fighting for the existence of the Earth realm. Rome is secretly a fire dragon from the Den of Volcana placed under a spell which hides his true form. Julian is an oddball, up-and-coming knight with a case of the “try-hards”. Together, they perform an ancient pact which bonds their lives and souls forever. Under the tutelage and guidance of an eccentric, local librarian, Mr. Jones, the two learn of an impending invasion from an archaic evil desperate to invade from the other side of The Void.

My Thoughts

The Search for Synergy, book one of The Talisman Series, is sure to be a favorite among MG (Middle Grade) readers–especially those who are interested in modern day dragons and knights. The story was interesting and unique (haven’t read anything similar), but I’m not quite the audience for the series myself (my brother, however, would devour these books).
