Reeling from broken trust and a battered spirit, Luke leads his surviving friends to the town of Haven where his past will catch up with him.

While Luke faces his family and the woman he abandoned at the altar, his enemies have recruited a deadly ally. Kalam the vampire marches on Haven with an army of undead that will leave a hero at death’s door. To revive the fallen warrior, Luke and Nyx must plunge into the mountain lair of Kalam and steal his spellbook. Exhausted and lost within enemy territory, the pair are going to need the help of a gypsy girl named Sari who may be more trouble than her new friends expected.

Against a strong and experienced adversary, what will Luke and Nyx need to claim victory on the charred battlefield?

About the Author

Charles Yallowitz was born and raised on Long Island, NY, but he has spent most of his life wandering his own imagination in a blissful haze. Occasionally, he would return from this world for the necessities such as food, showers, and Saturday morning cartoons. One day he returned from his imagination and decided he would share his stories with the world. After his wife decided that she was tired of hearing the same stories repeatedly, she convinced him that it would make more sense to follow his dream of being a fantasy author. So, locked within the house under orders to shut up and get to work, Charles brings you Legends of Windemere. He looks forward to sharing all of his stories with you and his wife is happy he finally has someone else to play with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allure of the Gypsies
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

Oh how I have missed the land of Windemere! “Allure of the Gypsies” is the third installment in this awesome series.
I definitely, highly recommend starting with the first book before jumping right into this one.

One of the things I love most about this series are all the characters! They are developed so well that I feel like I know them personally. Even the newly introduced characters fit in immediately.
In fact, when I was reading this I would have dreams with them in it. Kind of like watching a movie/book. That rarely happens, but I love it when it does!

Luke and Nyx continue on with new adventures. The past hasn’t been kind to Luke and he goes home to face his family and friends.
Unfortunately new trials and tribulations face him there as well and soon he and Nyx are on another quest.
Will they have the strength to succeed?

Overall the whole series is great. Luke is a believable character. He isn’t the hero that never bats an eye. He has self doubt and sometimes he is straight up whiny…but he’s real. I know I would be whiny if I were in his shoes

I can’t wait for the next installment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed The Action Scenes
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017

Allure of the Gypsies follows Luke, Nyx and Aedyn as they make their way to Luke’s home town of Haven, which he left in disgrace a year earlier. However there is more waiting for him at home than he bargained for.

The story follows pretty much straight on from where it left off in Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.

Apart from old favourites Luke, Nyx and Aedyn, we are introduced to a new character, Sari. I honestly found it extremely hard to like Sari. I found her to be a bit of an idiot however I’m not sure if that’s just an act so we will see. I really enjoyed the Lich and Trinity in this book and the banter between them.

I enjoyed the adventure and storyline of this book immensely however i felt that it was a bit all over the place. It didn’t flow as well as the previous two and sort of rambled a bit towards the end before ending very abruptly. I also felt there was a lot of unnecessary dialogue that could have been scrapped to make the book tighter and more interesting. I also found that there wasn’t a lot of mystery or twists and turns. Even though i enjoyed reading the book, i didn’t really keep me guessing or on my toes.

I really enjoyed the action scenes and even wished there was a bit more action – there seemed to be less in this book than the other two.

Overall this book was an enjoyable read however i felt it fell a bit flat and almost felt like simply a filler book to tie up some loose ends, introduce a crucial new character and get to the beginning of the next book. If you’re interested in an enjoyable fantasy series then i would definitely recommend Legends of Windemere however you really need to start with the first book in the series, Beginning Of A Hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Story Still Delivers
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015

As a newbie fantasy reader I am continually amazed by Mr. Yallowitz’s ability to develop an interesting and captivating tale. This is my third Legends of Windemere book read and can say they get better and better. Mr. Yallowitz has introduced a new character Sari who is deeply captivating and able to hold up the quality and complexity of previous and current characters. The current cast all remain in their performance profile and become more well-rounded in their personalities. This story also delves deeper into the power and inner machinations of the evil Lich his bosses and minions. The reader is treated to a number of complex spells and a major resurrection. The story moves well and has some very exciting moments which will keep the pages turning. It is hard to write a review without exposing some significant plot surprises. I’ll just say there are surprises, intrigues, twists, romance, and action enough for everyone.
This story as all others in the series I have read, can be enjoyed by all readers no matter their genre preference. If a reader likes a well-written story with action, surprise, and a big stage this is the book for them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of Juvenile
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013

I read the first books in this series and was looking forward to this one. I was hoping the characters would continue to grow and develop and the author's writing would continue to advance, also. This book seemed to take a step back in all phases. The writng was stunted. The dialogue was juvenile at best. The heroes aren't developing and evolving at all. After all of the adventures they've been through, you wouldn't think that they'd still be whiney brats throughout the entire book. Luke, especially, is getting annoying as hell. Every time he talks he seems to whine and moan about something. Also in the first books the author didn't drone on with unnecessary dialogue. This book seemed to go on and on and on with unneeded (and unwanted) conversations. I hope the next book is better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to the series
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the book a lot, I would give it 4 1/2 stars. The only reason to not give the full 5 stars is because of the running joke (it seems to me at least a running joke) of the relationship between the main protagonist and his lover/fiance. It seems to be a key point that comes up quite frequently in this book. Despite all that, I enjoy the sneak into the backstage of the life of the "villains" in this story. I enjoyed the addition of the newest character added to the cast. The story is moving along nicely and I enjoyed how the world was opened a bit up to seem more of what exists out there. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 13, 2013

Allure of the Gypsies is the third book in the Windemere series.

It is a huge undertaking to launch into fantasy as a writer, creating a world that the reader can find believable and walk in imagination. Inevitable comparisons are made to the great and good of the genre and a good idea can be hard to sustain through a whole series.

Yallowitz not only sustains but enhances his world, the plot and the characters. I have the distinct feeling that were we to look inside his imagination we would find him wandering the landscape he has created, interacting with his characters as readily as he does with the more sedate reality we generally walk.

There is a depth and confidence in this third book that has grown from the two preceding volumes that makes me wonder, `Where next?'
And more to the pint, `How long before I find out?'

There is a strongly humourous quirk in Mr Yallowitz' writing too, which I have a feeling reflects more of the writer himself than anything else. You get the sense you'd rather like to meet him over a beer.

So.... A fourth book? I hope so!

From book one, if you stick with it its good but what might put you off is the talk of 'hero's'? I was put off with this when i first started reading thinking what a load of poo! But stuck with it and am i did because its a really great story line.

You get to be as one with the characters, Nyx a great sorceress Luke a 'hero' and Sari a belligerent gypsy with power, as well as all the other characters that revolve around the story. Really good read and i'm pleased that i stuck with it and looking forward to the next book.

Thank you Charles C Yallowitz for 3 good books and i hope more to follow!
