"Extremely exciting fantasy"
In 1201 Lady Eyslk gives birth to a healthy girl Rhiannon
de Murdeen en Rogoth of Clan Dinari. The father Lord
Tellan is elated though dazed at becoming a first time
father. However as the Loreteller Girard begins to scribe
the birthing information on parchment, monks from the
Keepers of the Covenant surprise everyone when they arrive
to predict the newborn babe would become the Protectoress
of the Covenant and bring affluence to the land. However,
the elderly monk tries to kill the baby; after quite a
struggle he dies, but not before he murders Eyslk. Just under sixteen years later, her home is in fiery ruins
as dragons take to the sky to stop the prophecy from
happening so that they can rule the Broken Stone Lands
from the sky, They must kill Rhiannon as the only
potential threat. Her tutor Lakenna has taught her more
than just book knowledge. Only a teen, she is the one
person who can enter the spirit plane to weaken unbeatable
dragons and their even more invincible evil masters
(demons) so that they can be harmed by master sword
fighters and archers on the mortal plane. She is the red
haired DAUGHTER OF PROPHECY, but has a long weary quest to
meet what has been foretold about her since birth. This is an extremely exciting fantasy that opens at a
fevered pitch and never slows down until the concluding
battle occurs with the above paragraphs only describe the
beginning of Rhiannon's geas. The cast is strong enabling
the audience to believe in dragons, demons and wars on a
spiritual plane. Readers who enjoy good vs. evil
confrontations will appreciate Rhiannon's tale, sort of
like Saint Joan and the Dragon. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
