Prologue & Chapter One of The Brotherhood of the ScrollBefore ordering a book on-line, it's helpful to see what others have to say about a book, like the reviews you can find by clicking here to see some reviews on Amazon.com. Even better, however, is when you can read a sample on your own. On this page, I've posted the Prologue and Chapter One. I hope you enjoy this appetizer, and return soon to try the entire menu!Feel free to print and distribute them. Please leave the source information and reference to this site and the novel on the document.
