Sometimes, nothing but the death of your father will do
Dragonsong
by Michael Forester
Genre: Epic Fantasy Adventure
Rebekah,
noblewoman of Albion, has been driven to madness by the murder of her lover
Vidar. In her torment she bargains with the Prince of Demons to turn her into a
dragon. Thus transformed, she seeks to take revenge upon her father, Merlin,
whom she is fooled into believing is responsible for Vidar’s death. To save the
world from the ravages of Dragonsong, Merlin is forced to banish his beloved
daughter to hell, regardless of the consequences for him personally.
Behind
the subterfuge stands Oberon, Captain-King of Elves. He does not foresee the
devastation his jealousy and unrequited love for Rebekah will unleash upon Gaia
when he frees her from Merlin’s spell and summons her from hell to support his
war against Albion.
To save
Gaia a second, Merlin is forced to travel back in time to prepare a warrior
capable of overcoming the dragon through the power of the Sleep Stone. But he
does not foresee the bond that will develop between the dragon and his own
assistant, the Seer, Michael of Albion. If Lady Attie and Michael prove unable
to return the Sleep Stone to the mouth of Hell in time, the Demon Army will be
swarm out of Hell and overrun Gaia.
Time.
Time is the key. Time is the only solution to Gaia’s destiny – but only if the
gods of Asgard can find a way to stop it.
What readers
are saying:
“On a par with the epic of Beowulf, this modern day
classic never ceases to amaze. Gripping, thrilling, twisting and turning, the
plot of this epic piece of verse (an achievement unrivalled in the 20 the
century, I'd say), will have you gripped from start to finish. Don't just dream
of dragons and elves, Kings and Warriors, heaven and hell: read about them and
allow the mythology to soak deep into the fibre of your being! You, and your
deepest soul, will be thrilled.” -Rod Boothroyd
Absolutely beautiful book I loved this book. It is a tale of wizards,
demons, dragons, elves, love and treachery set around the Arthurian court but
written in rhyme. I have not read any poetic literature for over 40 years since
studying Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at university so this book
intrigued me. I am full of admiration for anyone who can write beautiful poetry
but when they can also tell a story at the same time I find that quite
remarkable. It is about the battle between elves and men, love stories ending
tragically and deceit and treachery. I would urge people to read this even if
they haven’t read poetry in a long time, I just found it so beautiful and the
story will entrance you. The last lines as written by the Scribe are “Or wilt
thou, reader, now persuade me once again to take my pen And make another story
come to be? All I can say is that I really hope so! - A 5 Star ***** Review By
