About this audiobook
Lady Carliss faces the challenge of her life. Can she save the kingdom before it's too late? Determined, smart, and a master of both the sword and the bow, Lady Carliss has proven herself as a veteran Knight of the Prince. Returning from a mission of aid, Carliss is plunged into adventure once again as she searches for the marauders responsible for kidnapping a friend's family. Along the way she is reunited with Sir Dalton and discovers that the struggle in her heart is far from over. When Dalton falls to the vicious attack of a mysterious, poisonous creature, Carliss finds herself in a race against time. As Dalton clings perilously to life, she must find the antidote in the distant and strange city of Moorue. While there, Carliss uncovers the master plot of a powerful Shadow Warrior that will soon overtake the entire Kingdom. Her faith in the Prince and her courage as a knight are tested as she faces evil Shadow Warriors and a swamp full of dreadful creatures. The lives of many, including Dalton's, depend on Carliss. But she cannot save them all, for time is running out. She faces an impossible choice: save Dalton, or let him die so that others may live.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best book ever. the king rains and his son

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What can be said except the King reigns, and His Son!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was utterly fantastic! I love this series and was swept away by the main character’s kindness, resolve, and integrity. It was truly inspiring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Though I’ve never read Chuck Black’s allegorical Kingdom Series, our families has truly enjoyed his sequel series The Knights of Arrethtrae. This series is an allegorical fantasy complete with noble knights, dangerous creatures, and temptations to be defeated. It is set in the period following the Prince’s departure from Arrethtrae, leaving his Knights to fight the good fight and spread the news of the Prince’s imminent return (the age of the church.)Each title in this series stands more-or-less alone, and Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue (#4) is no exception. Though it builds upon the events of Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart (#3), our family read it first (we’re about to go back and read #3.)Lady Carliss is a particularly loveable character for our family filled with girls (I have three daughters.) While a warrior and true Knight, Carliss also struggles with a heart that longs for one who is not rightfully hers. She nobly resists, but when Sir Dalton’s life is in danger and she is the only one who has a fair chance of finding the antidote to a poisonous bite, her heart is surely tested.Filled with intense action sequences, clear parallels to the Christian life, and realistic temptations and victories, Lady Carliss was greatly enjoyed by our entire family. My seven-year-old is always asking me to read it again despite my initial misgivings that it might be too dramatic for her.The discussion questions at the book’s end are perfect for leading teens to consider the consequences of escapism and the excessive use of diversionary pleasures as presented in the novel.Black’s work makes excellent family reading material – parents can discuss parallels between the story and the Christian life. Tweens and teens can also benefit from reading the book independently, and are very likely to do so considering the engaging content!Reviewed at quiverfullfamily.com
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue is an excellent young adult novel. Lady Carliss is a loyal Knight of Arrenthetrae. She serves the Prince and has made it her life's mission to help establish havens loyal to the Prince. On her way home from a mission she and Lady Salina stop at Salina's home for a quick visit. They find her family missing. As they leave to follow they find Sir Dalton, another knight and a man Lady Carliss has secretly loved, and by whose side she has bravely fought. She holds her feelings for him close because he is promised to another woman. While checking out the barn Sir Dalton saves Lady Carliss' life and is bitten by a strange lizard that can camouflage itself. At the same time Lady Salina screams that her family has been taken. Lady Carliss must now try to find help for Dalton and rescue Lady Salina's family.The first village they stop in Lady Carliss makes a new friend in a simple-minded man the children are pelting with stones and calling Oaf. He leads them to an alchemist who might be able to help Sir Dalton. It is here Lady Carliss has her first major problem. The antidote can only be found in the city of Moorue, in the swamps to be exact. No one knows if it is real or myth. She also must try to find Salina's family who has supposedly been taken to the same city. She, Lady Salina and her new friend set off for the city of Moorue. It is here she meets up with friends and finds out about the work they have secretly been doing for the Prince. This book is full of twists and turns. An evil plot develops that will force Lady Carliss to make decisions that may mean death for many, including herself. How is she to chose who lives and who dies?Chuck Black has done a wonderful job of bringing Bible truths to light in a way that speaks to teens without sounding preachy. The fact that this is set in Medieval times will draw a lot of my students in. My own mother has asked to read the book. This was the first time I'd read a book by this author. It will not be my last.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This, the 4th volume in the Lady Carliss Series is introduced by Cedric of Chessington, who is a humble servant to the Prince, who represents Jesus Christ. It is a story of Lady Carliss, a young girl who is a Knight of the Prince and how she must save a friends family from Lord Malco's evil machinations. Along the way she meets up with numerous characters, some good ,some evil. This story is an allegory that convey's biblical truth, good vs. evil.This was a relatively short novel (208 pages) that was easy to read.I am not a fan of the fantasy genre, but was able to read this book with no difficulties except for the fact that this was the fourth in the series and I had not read the previous three. I found the story interesting and an enjoyable read. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys this Christian Fantasy genre.This book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.I was not compensated monetarily for my honest review.
