    When Ariel and her best friend, Zeke, find a magical artifact, their lives are changed forever.

    Soon they are on a dangerous journey to discover where the artifact originated. In the process, they discover their
    true callings and forge an unlikely friendship.

    Filled with adventure, surprises, and great characters, THE FARWALKER'S QUEST guides the reader one
    exciting step at a time into a fantastic trip through Ariel's world.

    This book has common fantasy elements of a magical artifact and a heroic quest, but Sensel writes in such a
    refreshing, original way that this book is far from cliché.

    I loved THE FARWALKER'S QUEST! From the very first line, I found myself striding into Ariel's story and loving
    every step. I couldn't stop walking (and sometimes running) until I reached the last page, and even then I wanted to
    go on.  This is a book I will enjoy stepping into again.

    I am especially intrigued with the concept of the Blind War and would love Sensel to guide us back to this time in a
    new adventure.
