“I read this book in two days because not only is it fairly short and fast-paced, I just couldn’t put it down! Ian Wilson gives a literary version of ancient Britain that combines history and legend into a beautiful, Middle-Earth-like world that is true to its ancient Welsh source material yet told in a fresh new way that breathes life into these ancient legends for a new generation. His heroes of Emrys and Taliesin feel quite true to their mythical and historical counterparts, and would even make great role models for young people today.”
-Thomas Adams
In a forgotten age, the young bard, Taliesin, has mastered the secrets of magic, though he has no memory of ever having learned it. But he shall soon discover the dark secret of his mysterious past.
Meanwhile, King Emrys has brought peace to the fair isle of Britain, but evil will not go down without a fight. As the forces of chaos gather at the gates of Camelot, Taliesin must embark on a dangerous quest to save the kingdom, while Emrys remains to stand against the darkness that threatens to snuff out the light.
“I enjoyed this fast-paced heroic fantasy/adventure. The story itself features a nice balance of fun, humor, and danger, and the protagonist, Taliesin, and his friends are well-drawn, distinct, and likable. A recommended read, especially younger folks who may be just getting into the genre.”
-William J. Rankin
A thrilling, fast-paced tale for young and old alike!
