Imagine a mother trying to protect her son from Umbran commandos and the
only way to save him is through sorcery and sacrifice.
Then imagine a baby dragon, newly weaned from the nest, frightened by a
young boy--a very young boy who smells of magic and wizards--whose first
word to the dragon is "Yucky!" after he bites the dragon's tail!!!!
(I should say YUCKY! Shame on that boy!)
And finally, imagine that these two younglings unknowingly bond, their two
souls intertwine, their thoughts and emotions now shared, but only the
dragon recalls this bond.
Thus sets the stage for a wonderful new fantasy titled A DRAGON'S TAIL.
Tail? Tail, you ask? Don't you mean Tale?
Not this time.
A DRAGON'S TAIL is a worthy read. Carrie S. Masek and William B.
Masek have come up with an interesting twist to the old dragon tales,
(yes, tales, not tail <g>) creating an adventure that smoothly blends a
dash of ancient lore, a smidgeon of science fiction and a large dollop of
pure fantasy! Oh, and I forgot to mention, this tale is peppered with
mystery.
(I must be hungry!)
To tell you too much would ruin the adventures and spoil the fun. Buy the
book! You won't be disappointed! Within its pages, you'll discover along
with the main character, Centra, his unknown past, his shadowy future and
why a dragon and a powerful wizard seek him. Oh, and you will discover why
this is called A DRAGON'S TAIL. I promise.
I give the tale five flames!!!
