At the start of summer, no one, including thirteen-year-old Ethan Morus, knew that he'd been born with a treasure hunting instinct. Now that summer has ended, all groups desiring power are either seeking Ethan's services or hoping to end his young life. Although he has pledged his allegiance to the Light, even they are leery of training him for fear the Dark may lure him to their side.
Ethan will face beasts and enchantments on this dangerous adventure, from deep below the water's surface to high in the mountains. Yet his greatest enemies stand by his side as the line between Light and Dark blurs in the search for the Spirit of Steel.
The Spirit of Steel is the second book in J.R. Roper's award winning Morus Chronicles series. Readers who enjoy middle grade adventure full of action, mythical creatures, magic, and treasure hunting will love The Spirit of Steel.

What readers are saying:
Foreboding dangers threaten from the first chapter and move out in ever-widening circles; but one thing is constant: the action, characterization, and vivid insights that keep The Spirit of Steel moving along at not only a fast pace, but a cut above your usual adventure saga. ~ D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
The story is very well developed with characters that are charismatic and unforgettable . . . ~ Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite
J.R. Roper has created an exciting read with a well developed cast of characters and strong role models. Readers are treated to loads of action and adventure in this book in which fierce battles are depicted in an age appropriate, non-graphic manner. The Spirit of Steel is a terrific work of fantasy fiction with enchanted places and magical travel, bringing the thrill of this epic tale to life. ~ Literary Classics Review
