Description
<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>
Story Behind The Book
The adventurous characters from Bracken and the Crystal Cave are back, with a delightful cast of fairy-kind, bees, bats, dragons, griffins and more. Our gnome pal Bracken, along with Drew, Holly and the others will be fighting the evil druid, Dareg; whose dragons and other nasty minions are threatening to destroy the humans of Middle-Earth. And to help speed his conquest of the realm along, Dareg has conjured up a plague capable of decimating the entire human race. But surprises are in store, as our unlikely band of underdogs struggle to subdue the druid and save Middle-Earth.
Reviews
<p style="text-align:left;" align="center"><span style="color:#ff00ff;font-size:large;">I</span> have finished
reading your second book <em>The Dragons of
Middle Earth</em> and I must compliment you on your handling of evil in the
story. I was very impressed with the moral implications in the way you
dealt with the forces of evil. Such good lessons were there for the reader to
understand and apply. I read with delight the entire story and
was honored by the way you handled "Lillian". It was nice to be
in on the secret of the honey! Again you have come up with a wonderful story
that touches so many realms. I think you must be contemplating another
sequel. I hope that is the case because I don't feel finished with Bracken,
Raland or Drew; there is more to do and more to see. Since I loved teaching
Junior High students, anything that they could enjoy catches my
attention. I think young people would profit greatly from being exposed to
your books, especially with discussions following the reading. <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">–Lillian
