Overview
Nick hasn't been having a great Summer. His mom works two jobs to make ends meet, his sister keeps him up at night with terrifying nightmares, and the neighbourhood kids all love to pick on him. The one thing Nick has to look forward to is a visit from his favorite person in the whole world: his uncle Damek. So, when Damek dies in a cemetery not far from his house in Prague, Nick's entire world is thrown upside down. And not two weeks after he learns the tragic news, Nick receives a cryptic message warning of a threat to the city of Prague - addressed to Nick from his dead uncle. Now, thrust into an unfamiliar country and an evil threat straight out of a fairy tale, Nick will have to follow the clues left by his uncle to save his family, and maybe even the whole of Prague.

Librarians and readers seeking a vivid adventure story steeped in myth, possibilities, and sorcery will find Sword of the Golden City well-written, thoroughly absorbing, and a top recommendation for a wide audience of YA and fantasy readers. - Midwest Book Reviews Jane Alvey Harris and Ruston Jones weave folklore into a riveting mystery in Sword of the Golden City. A blend of descriptive storytelling and a graduated pace complements the dialogue that oscillates from emotional whenever Nicholas has to reason with his little sister or mother, to investigative as he puts the strategically placed clues together. As the suspense builds to a climax, what stands out is the fluid way Harris and Jones weave complex puzzles into folklore, encouraging readers to think outside the box to solve the mystery. - Reader's Favorite
Author Information
Jane Alvey Harris is the award-winning author of novels and short fiction, best known for Riven and Secret Keeper, the first two books in the soon-to-be-complete My Myth Trilogy. She writes memorable, character-driven fiction that blends fantasy, humor, and psychological horror with real-world contemporary issues to create layered stories that engage and transport. When she isn't working on her own manuscripts, Jane teaches private creative and academic writing classes. She specializes in coaching young and neurodivergent authors to connect with their imaginations and confidently develop their voices. Jane insists that frolicking is an absolutely vital part of the writing process. If you can't find her, it's because she's lost herself somewhere in a primeval forest, meadow, or waterfall, listening to the stories trees and flowers and rushing rivers tell.
