About this title:
Synopsis:
A magnificent epic of cataclysmic upheaval and heroic love in a breathless age of mythic wonders
It was a time of legend, when the last shadows of the mighty Roman conqueror faded from the captured Isle of Britain. While, across a vast sea, bloody war shattered a peace that had flourished for two thousand years in the doomed kingdom of Atlantis.
From the award-winning author of THE DRAGON KING TRILOGY comes a majestic tale of breathtaking scope and haunting beauty. It is the remarkable adventure of Charis—the courageous princess from Atlantis who escapes the terrible devastation of her land—and of the fabled seer and druid prince Taliesin, singer at the dawn of the age. A story of an incomparable love that joins two astonishing worlds amid the fires of chaos, and spawns the miracles of Merlin . . . and Arthur the king!
TALIESIN
“Reminiscent of C. S. Lewis . . . Highly recommended.”

From the Publisher: AN ENCHANTING TALE OF LOVE AND LOSS, GLORY AND GRANDEUR, SET IN THE TWILIGHT OF ROME'S POWER . . . WHERE THE CELTIC CHIEFTAINS OF BRITAIN BATTLE TO SAVE THEIR LAND FROM AN ONRUSHING DARKNESS. . . . IN THIS MODERN CLASSIC, STEPHEN LAWHEAD PRESENTS A MAJESTICRETELLING OF WESTERN LITERATURE'S MOST COMPELLING EPIC. A Druid Prince. Singer at the Dawn of the Age. His song would kindle a vision that would burn forever.
Taliesin, oracle of melody. His singing bore the haunting beauty of another world . . . and the spark of a kingdom yet to come.
Charis, Lady of the Lake. Driven by the cataclysm that destroyed her home - the scented groves of the Isle of Apples, the colosseums of the bull dancers of Atlantis - she encountered an uncertain future in a barbarous land . . . and the bard who would capture her untamed heart.
Their love would bridge two worlds. And like golden threads, their lives would knit the fabric of a timeless legend that of Merlin the prophet . . . and Arthur the king.
