Product Description
Seeker, Morning Star, and the Wildman’s world has changed drastically: The Nomana have disbanded, the island of Nom is gone forever, and its people have scattered, seeking shelter – and something to believe in.
When a young boy preaching nonviolence and joy mesmerizes everyone who comes in contact with him, a large following grows quickly, one that soon includes Morning Star and the Wildman. Yet Seeker, obsessed with his increasingly perilous journey to kill the last of the Old Ones, finds his mission placing him at odds with this new leader.
As Morning Star longs for things to be the same again with Seeker but fears it is too late, the Wildman – a restless warlord without a war – turns a new corner that none would have expected.
In this stunning and thought-provoking conclusion to the Noble Warriors trilogy, the strength of friendship, loyalty, and faith is tested as all three heroes must decide whom to trust . . . and what to believe.
“A thrilling story of integrity shaped in the face of corruption and vaulting ambition.” – The Guardian (London) on Jango
“Written in the same style as Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and Terry Brooks’s The Sword of Shannara, the quest itself will form the characters into the people they were always meant to be.” – School Library Journal on Seeker
“Spectacular.” – Kirkus Reviews on Seeker
“Fantasy fans will devour this book and eagerly anticipate the next one.” – VOYA on Seeker

 A Beautiful Ending August 14, 2008
Noman is a very beautiful finale to a wonderful 3 book story. Fans of the first two books, Seeker and Jango will not be disappointed. The author wraps up this trilogy nicely leaving the reader very satisfied and with a good feeling of the impressions Nicholson evokes of faith, love, peace and harmony. We see more detailed character development with this last book within the characters of Morning Star and Seeker, but disappointingly not so much with our beloved Wildman. The author alternates chapters telling us what is happening in each of the three key characters lives, which although works well, I found at times disjointed. There was a lot of jumping around. However, I did enjoy the way it all came together at the end, but was really disappointed that the three teens didnt unite at all during the book to join their powerful forces together as we had seen in the first two books. They each were on their own in this book which was ok, but not to me as meaningful. There are powerful messages here, hidden at first, and then revealed slowly to bring on some serious thought provoking topics for the reader to ponder upon. The whole feel of these three books is rather zen, almost buddhist-like in the faith and beliefs of the fictional Noman clan we read about. I think adults would enjoy these books as much as teens and that there are themes here that almost anyone would benefit by. One does need to read the first two books before reading this installment, these stories are not stand alone and couldnt be read separately. I highly recommend that they are read in order right away back to back to really get the full benefit and feel of the depth of the characters and what the whole message is all about. I have to say these are very different, quite engaging and unique. For fantasy fans who are looking for something different, and are tired of the wizards, magic and dragon routine, this trilogy offers something very much out of the norm. I can only give very high praise for this book and for the trilogy as a whole. I eagerly await to see what the author comes up with next.
 Straight into action! June 2, 2008

I read this book in four hours. At the very start, you are plunged straight into action - and it really leaves no dull moment in the book.
It had been a while since I revisited Anacrea, so when I picked up this book, I only had 2 things in mind: will Seeker find his Truth and is his love for Morning Star doomed to be forever unrequited?
WELL. This book delves into soooo much more than I had anticipated, and really gives so much food for thought about love, faith, identity etc. If you were like me and wanted to know how the love triangle ended up, you won't be disappointed with the conclusion...I won't spoil it for you lol.
But one thing for sure, take your time reading this...I wish I had so I could better understand the messages conveyed in the book. Now I have to reread it (such a burden, I know <--kidding?).
I do have a question and **IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET, IT MAY BE A SPOILER!!!**
> Why does Seeker cleanse himself at the end? I thought Noman wanted him to retain the knowledge?
