At The Seat of Power: Goldenfields and the Dominion

Alec has left Goldenfields after false rumors destroy the joy he has found there. Now he will reside in Oyster Bay, home of the king's court and Ingenairii Hill, where Alec will be trained in mastery of the ingenairii energies. His clean start in Oyster Bay will be challenged by politics and jealousies and jockeying for power as the old order starts to crumble. Even when he tries to keep to himself, Alec will stumble into trouble. The possibilities of healing and warrior power beckon Alec, and his potential is great, if he stays focused. But an old acquaintance will return, and all hope for a peaceful stay in Oyster Bay will end! Only his solace through miraculous healing can carry Alec until the call comes to return to Goldenfields, but will he be able to find peace serving in the court he was banished from? Promises of power, honor and romance tempt Alec as he learns that he has greater potential than he ever realized, if he can follow Aristotle's advice.

5Keep them coming ! ! ! ! ! !  May 06, 2009
By Nicholas Whitaker "Nick Whitaker"
I am so glad that this series was recommended to me! I have loved every minute of this story to the fullest and I have lost sleep on several occasions to stay up late and read a few more chapters and later drift off to sleep thinking about the adventures Alec has experienced in his journey so far. I look forward to the next book to be released and hope that more people get the chance to experience this incredible tale.

5An excellent sequel!  Mar 02, 2009
By Monica Kyle
This book picks up just where the first one leaves off - with Alec on his way to Oyster Bay. The new characters introduced in this book are just as likable and interesting as those we met in Visions of Power. Once I started reading this book, I had to keep turning the pages to see what happens next! I am looking forward to the release of the 3rd book in the series!!

5Picks up and Adds to the Story!  Jan 30, 2010
By Maizy Green
"Seat of Power" made me think that Quyle can really sustain a story! I enjoyed reading "Visions of Power" and meeting the characters, people I cared about, as well as learning something about the nature of the magic and power in the Dominion. With this book, the story has really done several things - it has delved into the details of the power the ingenairii exercise, and it has shown additional layers of the politics and society, and best of all, it has introduced new characters who I rooted for and cared about. As soon as I finished the book, I was ready to go out and buy the next book in the series!

5Another winner from Jeff Quyle  May 12, 2009
By JSC
Jeffrey Quyle has quickly learned the secret of the successful writer: create a story that is so enjoyable to read that it is a disappointment to finish. Or as they say in Hollywood, "Always leave `em wanting more." This volume has an exciting plot line and excellent characters. It also has a sense of the upbeat that is welcome in a world full of bad news. I am greatly looking forward to the next installment.

5One book, then another, and soon it's a series  May 08, 2009
By Alicia Harding
This book carries on the story of Alec, the orphan healer, and transports him to a new city, Oyster Bay, where he tries to take lessons in ingenairii (magical) powers, as well as deal with jealous personalities, plus he works hard to improve his swordsmanship - all while the politics of the land twist around him. The book touches on many topics, but manages to keep Alec as the central figure, which makes it much easier to read with that continuity. The writing is crisp, with a nice flow - I was able to whip through page after page as I followed the plot through a number of adventures and twists. It is a really good book!
