Summary (from Goodreads):
The World has found its new hero.
The problem? Bentley Ellicott is only a kid.
Bentley has secret powers. And he’s going to need them. Bentley is a hero – the thousand and first to be exact – in a long line of heroes that has stretched all the way back to antiquity. Heroes like Arthur and Hercules.
And now: Bentley.
That’s because there is an evil in the world that never dies. Its name is Prince Ombra. When Prince Ombra arises a hero is called upon to battle him. One day when Bentley is grown he will be that hero.
What Bentley doesn’t know is that his “one day” is today.
Review:
This is a beautifully written story, with richly developed characters, a plot that is engaging and difficult to let go, and a heart-warming, bitter-sweet relationship between Bentley and Slally, and also with the pure evil, Prince Ombra.
I cannot do justice in explaining the beauty and wonder that is held between the covers of this book, so you will have to read it and see for yourself.
I have been changed, and will remember the thousand and first time Prince Ombra battled the borrowed heart in the warrior of heaven.
I don’t say this often, but I will this time … READ THIS BOOK!

Abebooks.com has other book dealers that sell out of print novels – this is one that was a bit difficult to find. Why, thank you
